In fine form this season; third on seasonal return at Bellewstown (11.5f, soft); won by 5.5l at Navan (1m2f, gd-yld); hiked up 12lb but again ran well when a 2.75l runner up at Roscommon latest (1m4f, yielding) when not getting the clearest of runs; in the mix again off 1lb higher.

Comment

Won this last year off 3lb lower; in good form on AW earlier this year but underwhelming return to turf when beaten 7l at Sligo (10.5f, yld-sft) on latest; return to 1m4f a plus and Colin Keane takes over; should go well.

Comment

In fine form over 1m4f on the AW since return from a break; won off 72 in early April and close second off revised mark later that month; raised another 3lb for that but can't be discounted on return to turf (won on good ground in France).

Five-time winner is 3-14 on turf; has notched up back-to-back wins at Navan (1m2f, heavy) and on debut for this yard at Ballinrobe (1m5f, gd-yld); has gone up 14lb but has won off 2lb higher on the AW, so still on a feasible mark.

Won a Goodwood maiden (1m2f, gd-fm) on debut for the Gosdens; creditable efforts on turf and AW in three subsequent starts; bought for 20,000gns in December; overlooked by Foley, so probably best watched after break on stable bow.

Ground-versatile sort won a Ballinrobe maiden (9.5f, good) and a Listowel handicap (8.5f, heavy) last season off 1lb lower; modest effort on seasonal return at Ballinrobe (9.5f, gd-yld) but sharper for that and can't be discounted with yard in form.

"She's a nice filly who won her maiden at Bellewstown and has been good over the winter. All we're waiting for with her is some better ground. She'll go a mile and a half, maybe a bit further. 27-04-26"

Spotlight

Dual-purpose; just 1lb higher than when winning a Curragh handicap last season (1m4f, good); shaped with promise when a 5l fifth of 14 at Roscommon latest and has gone well here before; interesting but wouldn't want to see much rain.
