Easily won her seventh Flat start in a Down Royal handicap off 61 last time (1m5f, good); brings that positive form to hurdles now and should go well.

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.

Form & Verdict
Flopped when 3-1 for seasonal/handicap debut at Sligo in May; it was probably soft ground, rather than this trip, which proved his undoing because (having been gelded and given a break) he ran much better over 1m3f at Killarney on Monday; looked slow but kept plugging away, and gets another change of headgear now.

Only 3-1 for handicap debut at Sligo in May; ran poorly but maybe soft ground was to blame; gelded since and change of headgear; with the stable so powerful in the 3yo category, plenty will afford him another chance.

Form & Verdict
Showed ability in a Galway maiden last year when with Mick Mulvany; well backed into joint-favouritism for return at Fairyhouse, but didn't feature; off the bridle 3f out when okay fifth here over 10.5f (soft); had a wide trip from a bad draw when fourth over 1m3f at Naas and reckon he's on a good mark now; not bred to stay, but might.

Respectable effort when a 3.5l third of 15 on latest at Gowran (9.5f, gd-fm); has weakened late when tried over further so stamina to prove up in trip.

Form & Verdict
Twice made the frame in soft-ground 7f Gowran handicaps in the spring; finished well when fourth against older horses over 1m1f on fast ground at Leopardstown, but bombed over 1m3f at Naas last time; yet to string two good runs together and trip is a big question mark.
