Strong-travelling maiden went close over C&D last October and again 13 days ago at Sligo when a clear second to a course specialist, coming late (hung right) from a wide draw; blinkers now replace visor; should go well, although ideally wants it softer.
Comment
Recent Sligo second augurs well; big player if handling quicker ground

Maiden is 0-15 on turf but has run well in defeat at times, none more so than at Naas a week ago when racing on wrong side from 7lb out of handicap; drops in grade and runs off correct mark here; could go well at a decent price.
Comment
Ran well from out of handicap at Naas a week ago; down in grade and could go well

Placed in Naas nursery last term and good second on both starts this term on soft ground over longer trips, at Bellewstown and Gowran, each time staying on late; drop in trip and quicker ground possibly not ideal so will want a strong pace to aim at, stiff finish to suit.
Comment
Staying on second over longer trips of late; will want a strong pace at this shorter trip

Newcastle AW winner over the winter and took a sharp rise in the ratings after Dundalk claiming second; found it tough in handicaps since; visor now replaces cheekpieces and of limited appeal.

All four of her wins have come at this track between 5f-6f, including last October off a 7lb lower mark; not as good next time and tends to need her first run after an absence.
Comment
Course specialist but tends to need her first run after an absence
Quotes
"Step Back In Time got away with it today over the stiff five, she probably wants six. She ground it out really well. She has not been running badly and came out of the Cork race very well - Chris Timmons, trainer."

Maiden went closest when chasing home a progressive type over this trip at Dundalk last month; soft ground and 7f trip proved too much (slowly away too) at Gowran three weeks later; back in trip and better ground here so don't rule out.

"Livingston Range came on for his run and his first run worked out very well. He's an improving horse and still quite green, so there's a lot of improvement in him. We've taken our time with him. He doesn't really want that heavy ground and he will step up in trip - Tracey Collins, trainer."
