Was gaining a fourth career victory when landing 7f Gowran claimer (good to yielding) last month; beaten favourite next time in Fairyhouse claimer; finished last of eight in 7f Gowran handicap last week but she's 3lb below her last winning mark, will appreciate the forecast rain and could bounce back under 7lb claimer.

Near misses in two claimers during May extended her losing sequence to 16 so she's had plenty of chances now; rated only 62 so should be vulnerable again.

Maiden was placed three times in AW handicaps last winter and ran well above her handicap mark when pushing Gloriously Glam close in 7f Gowran claimer eight days ago, albeit when allowed to dictate a steady pace; handicap mark has gone up 9lb but meets that rival on same terms here; blinkers now tried and drops in trip.

Winless from seven, but beaten just a nose on her penultimate start in a Dundalk 7f handicap in February; going nowhere at the Curragh last time before rallying late to take a 1.75l fourth of 12 (6f, heavy); relatively unexposed, this just her fifth handicap, but races from 6lb outside the handicap proper.

Second to a clear winner in Killarney maiden last October and similar level of form on latest when chasing home a progressive sort (winner again since) over this trip in Leopardstown handicap last month; both those efforts on much softer ground, untried on ground this quick but big player if handling it, although draw a negative.

Exposed mare who was 6-44 on turf in Ireland; beaten in claimers on her two starts last month (7f and 1m, turf/AW) so it will be interesting to see how she goes in the market on this first stab at 6f since her only attempt over three years ago; stable debut.

Eight wins, two of them here; latest success was over 7f at Naas in March and ran well in big-field contest at the Curragh next time; disappointed when odds-on for Gowran claimer last week, but picked up a few grazes and she's better than that.
