Hurdles winner is 1-11 on turf on the Flat; on long losing run but went close behind Kool One at Navan in April (1m5f, gd-yld); respectable efforts twice since but more needed to get head back in front; cheekpieces tried. |

Two-time AW winner (both 1m4f) is 1-16 on turf; good effort behind Kool One on penultimate at Navan (1m5f, gd-yld); didn't get the smoothest of runs when midfield at Gowran latest; drop back to 1m4f a plus and not out of this. |

Generally consistent filly got off the mark at the eighth attempt in a 1m6f (gd-yld) handicap at Gowran last month; raised 7lb for that win and moves up in class; will need to improve again to follow up but that isn't impossible. |

Best effort came on handicap debut over 1m6f at Navan on yielding ground last August; produced another solid display at that venue last month, prominent all the way before losing fourth place to Celtic Druid; that rival finished well after getting into the clear and may uphold the form. |

Filly with a good German pedigree; ran her best race so far when sixth in a 20-runner handicap over 1m5f at Navan in April, beaten only 3l and would have been closer with a clear run; several others have a stronger chance in theory, but perhaps unwise to rule out. |

Two Flat wins in Germany early in his career, and Listed-placed; can be rated a possible future hurdles winner based on Punchestown fifth last month on handicap debut; slight reservation now on account of a suspicion that he might prefer a longer trip. |

Two wins last season, both of them under today's rider and the second of which arrived over C&D (yielding); creditable enough seasonal return off 9lb higher at Navan when a 5.5l eighth of 20, shaping as though he would improve for the run; in the mix. |
