In the hunt for a three-timer following back-to-back wins of a 21-runner handicap at the Curragh in April (6f, soft) and a 6f contest at Naas the following month (good), needed to wait for room before winning by a short head; she's up an aggregate of 18lb but is in wonderful form.

J: Jessica O’Gorman

T: Eddie & Patrick Harty

Nice run in a good-ground Curragh maiden last year; well held both handicap starts lately, but a hint of promise under quiet handling last time and yard won this two years ago; wouldn't be too quick to dismiss her.

Lost his way last season after going close in a 1m handicap at Galway in August (yielding) off 4lb higher; perhaps the break and the added tongue tie will aid a return to form.

Two Flat wins came in 2024; recent Fairyhouse run leaves him with a good bit to find but previous Leopardstown third was a solid run; visor tried now, replacing tongue-tie/cheekpieces; interesting jockey booking.

Two Flat wins came in 2024; two hurdle runs didn't go to plan but bounced back with a good third over 1m1f back on the level at Leopardstown (good to firm), headed inside the final 110yards; this trip looks ideal for him and a tongue tie is added to the cheekpieces; in the mix off 1lb higher.

Gained all three wins over the minimum trip, including here in June last year (good to yielding) off 63; ran well at Navan twice towards the end of last year but interspersed with two moderate starts at this venue; this will be just the third ride of his rider's career under rules'.
