Likeable mare ran a cracking race on her seasonal return in a median auction race at Fairyhouse (6f, good) when just 0.5l behind the winner Tango Flare; rated just 92, however, so looks to be out of her depth in this grade (failed to trouble the judge in three previous runs in stakes company).

Unraced over 1m and well beaten on stable/AW debut at Southwell (7f) in August; however, he failed to settle and may have needed that latest start, and one of his two wins in Ireland came on heavy ground; no surprise if he bounces back with a bold show.

Both wins have been at the Curragh over 6f-7f and in varying ground; solid efforts all three starts this year including over 6f at this track last week; the cheekpieces worn then are replaced by a tongue-tie; needs more on these terms.

One of two for yard; Galileo Gold filly won a Gowran maiden on debut (7f, good); coped fine with the step up in grade when a close third in a 6f listed heat at Fairyhouse (yielding) six days ago, finishing strongly after not getting the clearest of runs; return to 7f a plus; big chance.

Form & Verdict
Last year's Ballyhane Stakes winner got off the mark for this season when landing a Navan handicap (5f, yielding) against older rivals off a mark of 91; now rated 101 and this 3yo ran well to be fourth in a listed race over this C&D last September (Alibah third); the return to 6f is fine and should go well.
