Stayed on nicely for third on handicap debut here in May (10.5f, heavy), shaping like this trip would suit; beaten 1l when stepped up to 1m4f at Gowran and not a bad effort on return from a break at Leopardstown latest; rain a big plus and interesting. |

Good opening efforts in handicaps, staying on late over 1m2f at Cork and raced handier over slightly shorter at Gowran, weakening late on when only beaten 1l into fourth; upped in trip now and contender if he stays. |

0-16 but placed five times; good runs back-to-back when fourth and third at Leopardstown and Limerick in April (both yielding); poor run on good ground on penultimate start, more like it on an easier surface last time; stable had a winner at Naas this week. |

0-15 but placed five times; put two good runs back-to-back when fourth and third at Leopardstown and Limerick (both yielding); never got involved when last of 13 back in a handicap 26 days ago; has to bounce back but soft ground could be key to her; drawn wide. |

0-14 but has gone close at times; good run from a wide draw in a 7f Leopardstown (yielding to soft) contest, staying on well; another positive effort when third in a Limerick maiden in this headgear latest (1m, yielding); slowly away that day so effort can be marked up; not out of it. |

Enjoyed soft ground last year, runner-up over 1m at Galway, went one better on heavy at Listowel; below best this season until finding her form again when second over C&D in June; winner Thatwilldso has franked the form with Galway second and Sligo win; longer trip here should be fine and ground-versatile. |

Gained second turf win at Roscommon in May (10.5f, yielding) off 4lb lower; has come up short twice since off revised mark but ran well off 1lb higher at this meeting last year over 8.5f so not dismissed stepped up in trip in first-time blinkers. |

Six-time winner, including her last two starts; defied a 7lb rise for a Ballinrobe success when beating 16 rivals over C&D at the festival; overcame a high draw, and the loss of several lengths at the start, though she was probably suited by how the race panned out. |
