Form & Verdict

Best run when fourth in a fast-ground handicap at Leopardstown last month over a similar trip; needs to bounce back here, but has the plum draw and certainly respected on that form.

Form & Verdict

Runner-up in a heavy ground nursery at Galway last October; failed to cut much ice on her seasonal bow at Down Royal last month; slower ground and probably a longer trip might be more of an optimum for her; best watched.

Form & Verdict
