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.

Exposed mare who is 6-45 on turf; beaten in claimers on final two runs in Ireland in May and was well held in an Epsom handicap (6f, good; 33-1) on recent stable debut; has something to prove and all of her wins have been over further.

Exposed mare who was 6-44 on turf in Ireland; beaten in claimers on her two starts last month (7f and 1m, turf/AW) so it will be interesting to see how she goes in the market on this first stab at 6f since her only attempt over three years ago; stable debut.

Eight wins, two of them here; latest success was over 7f at Naas in March and ran well in big-field contest at the Curragh next time; disappointed when odds-on for Gowran claimer last week, but picked up a few grazes and she's better than that.

Off the mark at the sixth attempt when beating a solid yardstick in a Naas maiden last month (7f, yielding); ran well here twice last year so the surface is fine and she was entered in a Listed race here two weeks ago but didn't get in; she must be well-regarded and she should go well.
