9st 13lb

J: Seamie Heffernan

T: J P Murtagh

Maiden showed promise in C&D maiden last year; handicap debut run in April was okay (staying on late after slow start) but didn't improve at Naas last month (both over 5f); return to 6f should suit and remains a potential improver.

Camelot filly; dam 1m2f winner (RPR 73) half-sister to winners Ashraf (useful 1m/9.4f) and Ashqar (2m hurdle); absent since finishing last of 13 on debut for Dermot Weld in Dundalk AW maiden over two years ago so likely best watched.

J: Rory Mulligan

T: J P Murtagh

Standout run on seasonal return when saying on third behind a smart type in Cork maiden (5f, soft) in April; ran no sort of race there last month before just fair fourth on Dundalk AW last week (3l off Cool Azul) when tried in a tongue-tie; nicely-weighted on best form and rider's claim a bonus on handicap debut.

9st 8lb

J: Seamie Heffernan

T: J P Murtagh

Ran twice at two; not disgraced at 100-1 when ninth of 15 over 7f at this venue; too keen at Galway when fourth of eight behind Constitution River; looked a possible future winner when keeping fourth in a 16-runner 6f maiden here in March on seasonal/ stable debut.

9st 11lb

J: Seamie Heffernan

T: J P Murtagh

Modest form in maidens; similar story on seasonal return and handicap debut at Navan (1m2f, heavy) in March; promising second at Ballinrobe, seemingly appreciating better ground; closely matched with Pliny on Navan run; holds an obvious chance, with the form of the Ballinrobe race working out well

9/4
