9st 3lb |
Three of her four wins have come over 5f at the Curragh, including race for second successive year last month when making much of running; another good run off 6lb higher in similar contest 11 days ago when beaten under 2l: stiff 6f here probably not ideal. |

Three of her four wins have come over C&D, including for second successive year last month when making much of running in beating Harry's Hill 0.5l on good-to-firm (Happy Henry fifth) under today's rider; 6lb rise but has to be respected given her record here. |

Two of her three wins have come over C&D, including this race in 2024 off a mark of 60 (now 6lb higher); limited appeal on recent form, but could surprise. |

Nine-time winner, including twice over C&D; no joy yet this season, going closest on latest when staying on well into second late on behind 0.5l winner Mary Shoelaces over C&D last month on ground on the quick side for him; nice turn around in the weights with that rival, with rider now claiming. |

Failed to win at two; put that right when making all in a Navan maiden (5f, yielding) in first-time cheekpieces; not beaten far on handicap debut at the same venue in blinkers (5f, good); another good run in cheekpieces (retained) at Bellewstown; big burden, rider's claim will help. |

Finished off last year in fine form at Dundalk, backing up a nursery win with a short-head second in a conditions race; had previously finished second in two turf nurseries; was entitled to need last Sunday's Dundalk run when 4lb out of the handicap and slowly away; could be a different proposition now |

C&D winner; finished off last year in fine form at this venue, backing up her C&D handicap win with a short-head second in a conditions race over C&D when last seen in December; is 4lb wrong here, however, and lacks a recent run so is probably best watched unless the market speaks. |
