Won a Dundalk maiden over 1m2.5f last November; best run since was when third in a 1m2f handicap here; never involved over 1m4f at the Curragh since; might find this trip a bit sharp.

Frankel filly from a fine Moyglare family; just beaten by a fellow 70-rated rival in an optional claimer at Sligo last week; on pedigree, this longer trip shouldn't be a problem; looking at her action the last day, probably doesn't want it too quick.

Favourite for her debut in a 17-runner maiden at the Curragh last September, broke slowly, recovered to challenge before fading late; disappointed at Leopardstown in October when heavy ground may have been against her; has a bit to find with Taj Crown on running at Killarney, but less exposed than that rival.

Sole win in 26 Flat starts was over 1m1f in lower-grade contest here last August; that is possibly his optimum trip, although only beaten half-a-length over 10.5f on AW in December; after five months off, not a bad run at Roscommon lately.

Latest of four wins was over 1m4f three years ago, but he's on a good mark nowadays and came home well when around 3l fifth to Killyclogher Rose at Naas (1m3f); she's a lot less exposed though, and he might struggle to turn around that form.

Ordinary form in Britain, just sole 1m AW win to his name; seasonal/stable debut fourth over 1m4f at the Curragh, in this grade, was very good (travelled well and stuck on well) and quite likely he 'bounced' eight days later at Carlisle; has tried different headgear and visor now goes; trainer seems adept at improving recruits.
