Top-rated at 85 after nine starts; eight runs last year included a C&D maiden second on yielding and 4.25l third in a 5f listed heat at Cork (5f, good); shaped as though the run was needed at Dundalk last month; cheekpieces go on for return to turf; obvious chance but becoming expensive to follow.
Comment
Top-rated, has C&D form, obvious chance but becoming expensive to follow; cheekpieces on

Rated 78; standout effort last year a 1.25l fourth of 12 in a Naas fillies' maiden (6f, good); outclassed in 5f Dundalk listed heat when last seen in October; held by Namiid on that form on a line through Ipanema Queen; place chance if fit for return.
Comment

Ran to similar RPRs in mid 70s in first three maidens last season at 6f-5f and earned a rating of 78; below best over C&D when last seen in October but soft may not have suited; returns with yard in red hot form and dangerous to dismiss on ground that will suit.
Comment
Rated 77, promise in maidens last year at 5f-6f, returns with yard in hot form, chance

Keen and weakened into a 10l ninth of 24 on debut at the Curragh (6f, soft) but was sent off at 7-2 so must be thought capable of better; full sister won her maiden here over 6f on good ground; could improve.
Comment
7-2 but well beaten on soft on debut, full sister won maiden here over 6f on good ground

Promise in maidens last year at 6f-1m on soft, yielding and heavy ground; rated 76 so place chance on the figures but lacks a recent run, the drop back to 5f is a query and so is this quicker ground.
Comment
Promise on easy ground at 6f-1m last season, drop to 5f and quicker ground are queries
