Femme Beauty (F)
[T]
Still looking for a breakthrough victory but ran well when third in claimer at Gowran (1m) last month. However, failed to repeat that effort back in handicap company when seventh of 14 at the same course 3 days ago.

Guildhall Graduate (F)
Modest form in 4 maidens last year but sent handicapping she finished well held at Dundalk (1m) in January. Has work to do up in distance after 4 months off.

Meriden (F)
Little impact in a trio of maidens in quick succession this spring, never involved when tenth of 15 at Gowran (1m) 16 days ago. Market could be informative as she goes further up in trip for handicap debut.

Tenacious (F)

[P1]
Back up to 1m, showed improved form when third of 14 in handicap at Gowran 3 days ago, despite failing to keep straight under pressure. Could benefit from application of cheekpieces, so she's interesting over this longer distance.

Dawson Street (G)
Showed a bit more than previously when mid-field on handicap bow at Dundalk (1m) in November. Had excuses (hampered over 2f out) when down the field at the same C&D the following month but has widest draw to overcome here.

Accelereight (G)
Didn't build on debut effort in 2 subsequent outings last year. After 6 months off (cheekpieces applied), attracted support on handicap debut but did too much too soon when sixth of 13 at Navan (1¼m) in March. Remains early days for him.

Point Cartwright (G)
Well held in 2 maidens at Dundalk last year, but after 4 months off he probably needed the run when ninth of 10 at Gowran (1m) in April. Has plenty to find as he goes handicapping over further.

Hiltons Pass (F)
Hasn't offered much in a trio of maidens this spring, again finishing well beaten at Leopardstown (1m) last month. Up further in trip as she makes the switch to handicaps.

Survivor's Code (F)
[B1]
Making only second start for current yard, opened account in 7f handicap at Gowran in April. Below form back in cheekpieces over the same C&D 16 days ago, but she's worth another try at this trip (stamina on dam's side of pedigree) with bl…

Never involved on handicap debut at Dundalk in January and fared no better in first-time tongue strap when fifteenth of 20 at Leopardstown (1m) 26 days ago.

Balance Of Trade (G)
Remains a maiden but met trouble in running when fourth of 9 in claimer at Gowran in April. After only 3 days off, shaped as if a return to further would suit when third of 13 in handicap at Bellewstown (1m) on latest outing. Could be in t…

A Pretty Penny (F)
2 lb out of the weights but finished closer than previously when 2 lengths fifth of 8 in handicap at Dundalk (1m) on latest outing in March. Drops in grade for her first try at this longer trip.

Coul Dore (G)
Little promise in 3 maidens last year, racing too freely when eleventh of 14 at Dundalk (7f) on final outing in November. Off 6 months ahead of handicap bow over this longer distance.
