Form & Verdict
Improved since joining this yard, winning a Dundalk maiden (1m) in March and bounced back from two lesser runs with 17-runner Leopardstown handicap success last month; 8lb higher but the runner-up has boosted the form with a handicap success since and it's still early days for her new connections.

Progressive in handicaps last year; went up an aggregate 11lb for wins here and Tipperary and ended season with a fine third in a premier handicap at this venue (Bella Isabella, seventh); sights lowered again after a 1m Group 3 bid here on return; definite chance.

Form & Verdict
Career best came in a 1m1f Punchestown handicap in September; 7f possibly too short in both runs this term and the handicapper has been quick to drop her; may be of more interest back at 1m+ but warrants respect.

Emphatic winner of a fillies' handicap at Bellewstown (1m, soft) 12 days ago, eased down; hiked up 13lb, drops in trip and carries top weight on AW debut; big career best required in this deeper race.

Career-best when winning 1m1f Punchestown handicap off 76 just over a year ago; shorter trips possibly not ideal in large this term; best form is on a sound surface so might not want soft.

Won 7f Gowran maiden in September; lost her way sprinting since and doesn't look particularly well treated but should at least appreciate the return to this sort of distance.

Won 1m Dundalk maiden on debut and coming to the boil again in recent starts, although has been a beaten favourite in each of her last three runs; shaped like this slightly shorter trip may help last month but she's up another 2lb.

Improving with every start and deservedly got her head in front in a Curragh maiden last month; form boosted when the runner-up went close subsequently and handicapper hasn't gone overboard; a bit further this time should suit too so has to be on the shortlist.
