9st 12lb |
Ran respectably in Madrid Handicap over 7f on return, weakened over 1m next time but perhaps that came too soon; up in trip and down in grade now, and gets back onto better ground. |

9st 3lb |
Modest efforts in 1m maidens last year; gelded and returned with a midfield finish on handicap bow at Naas in the Madrid (7f, soft) from 4lb out of the handicap; shaped as though that was needed and this is less demanding; interesting. |

Maiden form is nothing to shout about; gelded since a 10.5l seventh of nine at Gowran in September (1m, heavy); 4lb wrong here for handicap debut and dropping to 7f; Holohan has been in good form at Dundalk over the winter and is value for his 7lb claim. |

Quiet runs in 7f/1m maidens but related to several winners over this trip and not hard to envisage a much-improved effort on handicap debut. |

Got a good ride from the front on speed-favouring track when holding on to beat Musashi at Killarney; 3lb worse off and wouldn't fancy her to confirm the form over this extra furlong. |

13-race maiden; more exposed than several of these rivals and may remain vulnerable; ridden by a 10lb claimer on her last three starts; Shane Foley booked this time; has a bit to find with Celestially on running at Navan, when Foley partnered her. |

Unfancied both handicap starts but has run well; just behind Musashi when third at Dundalk (10.5f) and form of her front-running 2l fourth over this trip at Cork has worked out well; down in grade too. |

Handicap debut third at Dundalk (10.5f) recently was a definite step in the right direction and likely more to offer back on the turf if staying this longer trip. |

Similar profile to Musashi in that she showed precious little last season (at about 1m) but now goes into handicaps for a respected yard; makes sense to let the betting guide. |

Beaten around 12l on first two starts, in decent maidens won by Ballydoyle juveniles; has been gelded and steps up in trip for handicap debut; half-brother to 1m4f winner and dam won over 1m6f; trainer had third in Killarney contest involving two of the principals here, so has a line to the form. |
