First foal of multiple Grade 1 winner Apple's Jade; 0-7 but she's shown enough ability, most recently when 12l fifth of 17 in maiden hurdle at Clonmel (2m1f, heavy), to suggest she can have a big say in today's company for her top Irish trainer.

Finally off the mark at the eighth attempt in an ordinary Ayr maiden hurdle (2m, soft) 10 days ago; that will have boosted her confidence and she would be a fitting winner of the race named after her dam but looks up against it on the balance of her Irish form.

Placed in a 3m point and she got off the mark at the third attempt over hurdles in a mares' novice here (2m4f, soft) last month; did it nicely from a solid yardstick and she's from the family of Paisley Park, so could appreciate the step up in trip on handicap debut; possible player.

Thrice-raced mare who has two pieces of placed form (point/hurdle); reappearance effort, in 2m event at Ayr, suggests this step back up in distance will suit (pedigree confirms that impression); interesting with improvement plausible.

Having attracted market support she was tailed off on hurdle debut at Ayr (2m, soft) last month, following a long absence; needs to prove how much ability she retains but this bumper winner failed to settle last time and shaped as though she needed the run; no surprise to see a good performance.

Not beaten that far when sixth of eight on last month's handicap debut at Kelso (2m5f, good) but raced too freely (not for the first time) and was well beaten when upped to 3m at Perth three weeks later; drops back to 2m here; others look safer.

Two wins over shorter trip, creating a favourable impression over 1m2f at Lingfield seven weeks ago; 5lb rise asks a stiffer question of her but the new trip could unlock further progress and she can't be ignored.
