Promise in Curragh maidens for Kieran Cotter; good effort after an absence when beaten a head in a 6f Navan maiden early last week; disappointing short-priced favourite on AW debut here nine days later; reported "blowing hard post race"; will be hard to beat if restored to form; cheekpieces worn last time are left off.

Useful maiden form this term except for a poor run on her penultimate start; second in a C&D handicap in June, the winner was placed twice at the Galway festival; becoming frustrating but may appreciate the return to 7f after recent third in a 6f Curragh maiden.
