Form & Verdict

2-13; not beaten that far on latest start at Galway (7f, soft); down to a rating of 70 now, 4lb below her last winning mark; both her wins came at 5.5f-6f but she shaped like this trip would suit when running on late over 7f at the Curragh in April and she likes soft ground; could go well at a price.

C&D winner in 2022 who shaped like a step up in trip would suit when an eyecatcher in tenth at Galway (7f, soft) in August; forged clear when winning at Bellewstown (1m, yielding to soft) on Wednesday; drop back to 6f isn't ideal carrying a penalty and would want rain.

Form & Verdict

In-form filly has won two of her last four starts, both over this C&D; had a neck to spare on latest off 67 and went up 7lb for that; unraced on softer than good to yielding so soft ground conditions would be an unknown; top apprentice on board and she has claims again if handling the ground.

Form & Verdict

Six-time winner on the Flat; 4-33 on turf; locally-trained mare is in fine form and has won two of her last four, both over this C&D, on good and good to yielding ground; up 7lb to 67 for her win here on latest last month; career high mark now and soft ground a concern; could be vulnerable.

2-24; best recent effort came over 5f here last month, staying on late for fourth of 13 off 70; may not have acted on the sand at Laytown on latest; has won here over 5f on heavy off 82 and is 14lb lower now but he has to prove his stamina for this trip; ground will suit but others are preferred.

Form & Verdict

Shed his maiden tag on latest, making all in a 1m Punchestown handicap off 66 (good); seemed to handle soft ground on his second maiden start at Naas; up 6lb and may face competition for the lead but his jockey takes off a handy 4lb; a bold bid could be on the cards.

Four-time winner, including at Listed level for Ger Lyons, but yet to win for current yard; he finished 5l behind Proleek Prince on latest at Punchestown; down 3lb for that and may get closer to that rival on softer ground; not fully discounted off a career low mark.

Form & Verdict

Sole win from eight starts in a 1m1f Leopardstown maiden (heavy) last October; not a bad run back there on handicap debut off 72 over 10f on similar ground on seasonal return; however, stopped quickly and was reportedly coughing and distressed after her last run at Roscommon; best watched for now.
