Second runner for yard; won C&D maiden on testing ground in April when a 28-1 shot; held but not totally disgraced in a 1m Curragh Group 3 and a 1m Killarney Listed contest (when stumbled early on), both on good ground; could go well at a price if the forecast rain materialises.

Promise on AW debut last year and showed major improvement to take a Cork maiden on return (7f; sft/hvy); found Group 3 company at the Curragh too tough since and has a bit to find today.

Early promise; three instances of beaten favouritism before an odds-on maiden win at Limerick; her chance is not obvious in the light of an official rating of 93; however, dramatic improvement is not out of the question with the stable in outstanding form this week.

Took third in a Naas Group 3 on debut last term (6f, good); beaten favourite in Albany Stakes next time and no help to favourite backers in two maiden runs this term either; collared late on at the Curragh (7f, heavy) when second; filled the same spot despite 1-2 odds at Cork last time (7f, soft to heavy); drying ground could help her and may finally make the breakthrough.

Eyecatcher when making late gains on debut at Naas over 6f in October; another solid run when a 3.5l third on heavy at the Curragh (6f) nine days later; yard in form and the step up to 7f looks sure to suit; place claims.

Placed four times from ten starts up to this trip; can be forgiven last week's moderate sixth at Bellewstown, since she almost lost her footing when slipping on the bend half a mile out; was one of the main fancies for that race, in which Tax Me Later was third at 40-1.

Encouraging debut for Jessica Harrington at Punchestown (1m, good to yielding) last September; however, her form went the wrong way across her next three starts and she was sold for 2,200gns last month; needs to turn things around on her stable debut.
