Hit the frame in a Group 2 before disappointing in this corresponding event 12 months ago. Made positive start to this season before couple of lesser efforts last month. Does ease slightly in grade w…

Useful filly recorded 3 sprint handicap wins here last year. As good as ever following runner-up finishes in Naas listed event/Fairyhouse conditions race. Handicapper mark has suffered as a result, t…

Not the force of old (hasn't won since 2022) but plenty of creditable placed efforts this season. First-time tongue strap added when close second in a competitive Cork sprint latest. Reproduction of …

Improved model for current connections. Successful in useful 6f course handicap/solid second in a valuable Cork event before failing to give his running here last time. Still looks on a handy mark an…

Arugam Bay (F)
Fairly useful 3-y-o filly who completed a double in a listed race at Tipperary last summer. Hasn't been seen since her comeback run at Bath in early-April and this mark does her no favours.

Useful as a juvenile. Ran best race this season (in first-time cheekpieces) when 2½ lengths off Ipanema Queen at Cork. Hard to be confident he can reverse form with reopposing horses here, though.
