Form & Verdict
No win since 2023; big chance off this mark on best runs over 1m6f/1m4f last season and though well beaten in both runs this term, they were over an inadequate trip; this distance much more suitable and Colin Keane takes over; interesting.

Gained first win since 2023 with good attitude shown at Ballinrobe (1m5f, good) 32 days ago, defeating Truth Be Told by a neck; raised 6lb and probably not guaranteed to back that up but did run well over C&D last year.

Hasn't added to Bellewstown maiden win of last summer although creditable handicap placings last month at Tramore and Ballinrobe; reportedly saddle slipped leaving stalls at Gowran on latest so that run forgiven; others look better handicapped.

Cracking dual-purpose 9yo has won four hurdles and gained most valuable of six Flat wins at Cork in May; lacks a bit of scope for this game, as shown when a long way off Chichester Park at Kilbeggan; better at the latter venue since, but was still low and left at a few fences.

Best effort came in a C&D maiden in May when a 0.5l second to an 80 rated rival; ran respectably on handicap bow at Navan (1m2f, good) but struggled upped to 1m5f at Ballinrobe latest; drops back in trip now and the return to the AW is a plus.

Dual-purpose mare arrives in top form after back-to-back wins over C&D (yielding) and Tramore (1m4f, good) in lower grades; has gone up a total of 13lb but the form of her latest win has since been franked by the runner-up so there could yet be more to come; top rider booked.
