Has gone up a total of 13lb for wins at Ballinrobe and Tramore; good 7lb claimer booked here, but not sure to uphold Tramore form with third-placed Sea Coral.

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.

Added to her Ballinrobe maiden win over an extended 1m1f trip when landing a 1m2f Leopardstown handicap by a neck last time (good); she was probably value for more than the winning distance that day and should be competitive off just 3lb higher but the drop to 1m is a slight negative.

Ballinrobe maiden winner was a length off Daler back there last month (now 1lb better off); seemingly outstayed over 1m4f last time; touched off at Navan last year, so she goes left-handed; handicapped to win when everything falls into place.

Three wins in Britain in 2023 at up to 1m; regressive in 2024 and 2025 seasons; produced best run for some time at Dundalk in March when good second over 1m; after three more runs, took advantage of a drop in grade when winning a claimer at Limerick; backed that up in a Ballinrobe handicap; was 4lb wrong when ninth in the big handicap here on Tuesday.

All three Flat wins have come over an extended 1m1f on good ground, including this race last year off 1lb lower; opening two runs this term on AW were okay, well held latest under a 10lb claimer at Limerick; respected back here but ideally wants better ground.

Fairly useful hurdler last season, winning Roscommon maiden; well held in handicaps however, latest at same venue last month; standout flat run for Alan King when touched off in 1m6f Sandown handicap two years ago (Cock And Bull third); noteworthy jockey booking for flat return.
