Lightly-raced 5yo won ordinary 1m4f maiden on last summer's debut before good second in 1m6f contest at Galway festival; 6-5 fav, visor went on for Killarney return earlier this month, couldn't get by similarly-rated rival who dictated a steady pace over 1m6f.

Ex-Dermot Weld; came from the rear to make a winning start for this yard at this venue (1m2f, good) in May; always close up but had to be switched when neck second to War Rooms at Ballinrobe (1m5f) ten weeks later, looking capable of better still; missed a York engagement when the ground turned softish.

Has the form to win a maiden but he's had some chances now (0-9) and was entitled to run better than he did at Gowran two months ago; his previous second there was a career best on RPRs, though was flattered by his close proximity to a classy winner.

Made up plenty of ground to lead close home at Galway festival (1m4f, yielding; same race she won the year before) on penultimate start but was herself pipped by a fast finisher; won starts either side, latest by a head off the same mark at Sligo (10.5f) four days later; this is a very different track but she has to be considered with her mark virtually unchanged.

Won narrowly at Roscommon in June and went very close to repeating last year's success in a 1m4f Galway handicap; due to go up 3lb for finishing a neck second; holds an obvious chance, providing this does not come too soon; last year's second in this event came after the same four-day interval.

Won two in a row in July (1m2f/11.4f) and she's run pretty well in big fields on her last two starts, most recently fourth of 18 at Cork (1m4f); every chance that this extra furlong will be within range and she's won on ground from good through to heavy; this Irish raider could be in the mix.
