Faiyum (F)
FAV
Rapid improver last year, producing a really smart performance when easy all-the-way winner of C&D Group 3 (9.5f, soft) in September. 2½ lengths third of 10 to Celestial Orbit in Park Express at the Curragh (1m, heavy) on reappearance 32 d…

Abbey Actress (M)
Promising start for the Johnny Murtagh yard when placed in competitive handicaps at the Curragh (1m, soft) and Leopardstown (1¼m, soft) in recent months. This is a step up in grade but she could still go well.

Apercu (M)
[B]
Useful mare. Five wins from 17 runs. Creditable fourth of 16 in handicap at Cork (10.5f, good to soft, 7/1) on reappearance 11 days ago. Place claims.

Lady Lilac (F)
Finally off the mark in 1m Killarney maiden last autumn. Improved when close third of 21 in 1m Curragh handicap on reappearance but only a respectable fifth of 16 in handicap at Limerick (1m, good to soft) 10 days ago. First-time cheekpiec…

Lemsairbat (M)
Useful but sole win remains a maiden in France in 2024. Good 2¾ lengths fifth of 12 to We'll Defend in listed race at Longchamp (10.4f, good, 49/10) 30 days ago. More a place than win contender.

She's A Nation (F)
[T1]
Debut win at the Curragh last summer. 10 lengths third to Faiyum in C&D Group 3 on other start last year but arrives with something to prove after finishing tailed off in Park Express at the Curragh (1m, heavy) on reappearance 32 days ago.…

Sindria (F)
Useful filly. 12/1, career best when winning 16-runner handicap at this course (1m, soft) on reappearance 27 days ago, well on top finish. Up in trip. Can make her mark at listed level.

Subsonic (F)
[T]
Fairly useful form. 6/4, didn't need to be at best when winning 15-runner maiden at the Curragh (1¼m, soft) when last seen in September. Has something to find up in class on reappearance.

Um Wadi (M)
Drawn a blank since debut win in France in 2023. Respectable eighth of 16 in handicap at Limerick (1m, good to soft, 15/2) 10 days ago, not ideally placed. Very hard to make a case for.
