Excellent overall record in a busy campaign since joining Ado McGuinness in November, winning four of her 11 starts, three times at this trip; didn't land a blow here a week ago from wide draw in handicap but has to be respected back in claiming company. |

Excellent overall record in a busy campaign since joining Ado McGuinness in November, winning four of her ten starts and placing on a further three occasions; bagged another win back down to 7f here last time; up 5lb and based on the evidence, this may not be her ideal trip. |

Four-time AW winner, sole turf success came in 5f handicap at Naas in May 2024; solid effort when over 1m at Bellewstown in April and backed that up with a close third over 6f at Naas last month; 1-22 record on turf is a concern but those recent efforts have been encouraging |

Four-time AW winner, sole turf success came in 5f handicap (good) on this card in 2024 and he's just 1lb higher now; solid effort over 1m at Bellewstown latest (soft); should get a strong pace to aim at here and not discounted. |
