Left previous modest form behind to land a 1m4f (yielding) handicap here on latest start in May; the step up in trip was offered as the reason for the improvement in form, so the drop back in distance here may not be ideal; raised 6lb and quicker ground a worry too in this deeper race. |

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. |

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. |

Improved for switch to handicaps and step up in trip when 0.5l second at Roscommon (1m4f, y) in May, pulling clear of subsequent winner; beaten 8.5l into fourth 14 days ago but the return to a sounder surface may suit better and he's a leading player. |

No worries about the trip for this stoutly-bred filly; best of three handicap runs was front-running fourth over 1m4f at Cork in April; winner has gone in again twice and third won maiden next time; was given a break after Roscommon fifth in May. |

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. |

Missed a good chance to win one when hung left late on at Gowran, finishing third over 1m; 3-1 fav when turned out three days later at Ballinrobe, ran a stinker; cheekpieces tried then left off; some stamina on dam's side of pedigree so might stay, but prefer to look elsewhere, as does Foley. |

Big improvement in first turf handicap run at Gowran (1m, gd-yld) three days ago, beaten 0.5l under a positive ride; cheekpieces go on; hope that she'll stay this far on dam side of pedigree; go well once this doesn't come too soon. |
