Form & Verdict
Dual course winner over 6f/7f last year (beat Queen Leila and Iryna's Star in January); curbed by increase in rating last twice on AW, finishing sixth both occasions; underwhelming run on turf 15 days ago but soft ground an obvious excuse; steps up in trip and can be thereabouts.

J: Sam Coen

T: Adrian McGuinness

Made all over 7f at Gowran (Oppenheimer fourth) early this month (good) in a first-time visor and solid AW run 8 days later when fourth to a progressive type, not quite getting home over 1m; barely gets a mile so possibly vulnerable here, especially if ground softens.

3yo filly made all to score by 4.25l at Gowran (7f, good) eight days ago in a first-time visor (retained); has won here over 6f and 7f and wasn't far behind Queen Leila over C&D in January; drawn to attack from stall 1 and a bold bid looks likely.

Won twice on the AW during the winter; her near 4l third at Killarney (1m, good) last month was her best effort on turf but then fared less well tried in cheekpieces over C&D; bit risky in a new visor.

Form & Verdict
Caught the eye when staying on into fifth over C&D on handicap debut in first-time hood in November; backed that up next time when beaten 2.75l into third by John La Bear; dropped 2lb; off 141 days; one of the more solid options.

0-7 overall and 0-4 on AW; ran okay when a 2.75l third over 1m here in December but two runs this season have not been her best; tongue-tie now added to usual hood; more needed and is 5lb wrong.

Steadily progressive at the end of last year on the AW and perhaps needed the run on her comeback; should be fine on turf and this lightly-raced filly can't be dismissed despite being 3lb out of the weights.

Form & Verdict
Showed little in three maidens before making a winning handicap debut over C&D last month, staying on well to beat Kc Bear by 0.75l; well placed that day and form of that questionable; failed to back it up when well beaten 34 days ago; not one of the obvious ones.

Nursery form on turf left a lot to be desired last year but ran much better upped to this trip when beaten 4.5l into fourth by Keepsgettingbetter last month over C&D; poor run again on turf 12 days ago in first-time blinkers; can bounce back on the AW and an each-way contender.

Fair effort when a 3l sixth behind City Escape in a classified event at Ffos Las (1m2f, good) last week, but that took his record to 0-15 and he needs to find more to make a big impact back in a handicap.
