In second place when final-fence faller in Irish point; justified favouritism in C&D contest (good to soft) for new yard, beating a subsequent hurdles winner; respected under 4lb penalty.

Prominent in market for an Irish maiden point (yielding) in April and was not far away in second when he fell at the last; closely related to a useful bumper winner and he needs a close look on his switch to this sphere.

Nothing exciting in three bumpers, including back from a summer break recently, and this looks tough enough on her Flat debut; is likely one for handicaps down the line.

Flat-bred filly; well beaten at Kempton (good to soft) in March and not seen again since but was close third on debut at Musselburgh (soft) in February and has claims here if judged on that performance.

Stablemate of Kinbara Hills; showed promise in valuable event at Fairyhouse (rules debut) last April then posted a lesser effort in November; fitting of tongue-tie is a possible source of improvement.
