W: 10st 0lb
Age: 5 yo Filly
Four wins last year, including over 1m at this track on soft in April; career-best when landing very competitive fillies' handicap at Leopardstown last September; stamina stretched here (9.5f) 11 days ago but beaten only 1l behind Rion Rubette when third over C&D on penultimate off current mark; contender.
Form: 847-81 CD
OR: 82
W: 9st 6lb
Age: 4 yo Filly
Bounced back to form with C&D win (soft) on latest when seeing off several of today's rivals (effort can be marked up as short of room then hampered over 1f out); up 3lb which is generous and should go well again.
OUR TIP
Form: 33-226
OR: 81
W: 9st 5lb
Age: 4 yo Filly
Some useful form in Britain for Karl Burke; good stable debut when runner-up in course handicap (1m, soft) and improved when filling the same spot behind Rion Rubette over C&D (soft) next time; faced a tall task in Listed grade at Naas on latest; front-runner is well drawn to attack.
Form: 9-6339
OR: 78
W: 9st 2lb
Age: 6 yo Mare
Placed twice in handicaps this season but only one career win from 27 starts is a concern; finished last in Listed company at Navan on Sunday; new headgear combination is tried now.
Form: -04813 CD
OR: 76
W: 9st 0lb
Age: 4 yo Filly
Solid fourth behind three of today's rivals over C&D in April; was gaining a fourth career victory when landing C&D claimer (good to yielding) last month; beaten favourite in Fairyhouse claimer on latest; fair mark returning to handicaps; respected.
Form: 2182-4
OR: 83
W: 8st 11lb
Age: 3 yo Filly
Ran in some hot contests before getting off the mark in 6f Naas maiden (yielding to soft) in September; good second in Birdcatcher Nursery back there following month; needed the comeback run in Fairyhouse rated contest last week; trainer feels she's best on easy ground; live player.
Form: 771635 D
OR: 71
W: 8st 9lb
Age: 5 yo Filly
Excellent record on AW of late, winning four of her last 10 starts, three at this trip; big eyecatcher at Down Royal (7f, good) a fortnight ago when beaten 2l into fifth after a very slow start and not clear run 1f out but soft ground is a negative.
Form: 65-368
OR: 70
W: 8st 8lb
Age: 7 yo Mare
On a long losing streak (since October 2023) but shaped well on several occasions, including on seasonal debut at Leopardstown; less encouraging run over C&D next time and folded tamely at Navan on Sunday; the jury is out.
Form: 24
OR: 79
W: 8st 7lb
Age: 3 yo Filly
Promising debut second over C&D (7f, soft) when behind runner who ran at Group 1 level since; raced freely when fourth at Navan (1m, good) last month; intriguing handicap debutante for yard that had a winner at Navan on Sunday.

Betting Forecast

8/1 Pink Oxalis, 6/1 Rion Rubette, 7/2 Greydreambeliever, 10/1 Fast Tara, 9/1 Gloriously Glam, 9/2 Luna Mia, 12/1 Una Matata, 11/1 Greek Flower, 5/1 Solana Beach

Verdict

A very competitive handicap. Rion Rubette, GREYDREAMBELIEVER (nap), Pink Oxalis and Gloriously Glam filled the first four places over C&D in April but Joseph O’Brien’s filly can gain her revenge on this occasion. Luna Mia is also shortlisted in a wide-open affair. [Adrian Wall]
