Weak form in maidens; in rear in a Roscommon handicap last week after steering issue that saw her hang to the left off the bend with a circuit to go; senior rider set to take over now; second reserve.

Started last season brightly with three placed efforts before a 1m5f Navan win; began this term on a positive note when runner-up at Roscommon nine days ago; would merit consideration if getting a run; first reserve.

Dual-purpose; best recent form has come over hurdles; no win on Flat since 2023; down the field at Navan latest; hard to fancy.

SR 36 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 40/1.

Won a 1m4f Curragh handicap last season off 3lb lower; added a Thurles maiden hurdle in November; strip fitter for comeback at Navan (behind Radar Ahead); could go well.

SR 61 suggests ability but 12/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Showed a bit of potential on soft in first two maidens last autumn; bombed out on seasonal return and handicap debut at Gowran (1m, soft); may have needed that but probably best watched for now.

Best effort yet on latest at Navan (1m5f, gd-yld) when a 3l sixth (2.5l behind Radar Ahead) after meeting traffic problems; could turn that around with a clearer run here; big player off same mark.

Won a mares' bumper at Roscommon last July (good); fair effort on Flat handicap debut at Down Royal (1m5f, yielding); 1m2f too sharp on seasonal return; recent Roscommon sixth was satisfactory; champion jockey booked, new headgear combination.

Fair effort on just third handicap start when fifth over 10.5f on AW; tongue-tie tried then stays on; was keen the last day, so trip could be an issue, but is a half-sister to 1m4f winner.

Last three Flat runs resulted in wins at Tramore, Limerick and back at Tramore, all at around 1m4f on good and good to yielding ground; no show in maiden hurdles in the autumn; could resume progress back on the Flat; won first time out last season.
