Navan maiden winner who settled better in a first-time hood and duly stepped forward on her reappearance run when third of 14 in a handicap at Naas (6f) 3 weeks ago. Not yet fully exposed and she’s respected eased in class.
Left her debut well behind when second in a Navan maiden in October and put her experience to good use when going one place better on return at Sligo (6.3f) 25 days ago. Type to make her mark in handicaps for top stable.
Ended 2-y-o campaign with a very good third at Navan (5.8f) in October and returned from 6 months off with a respectable 2 lengths fourth of 7 behind Baiana at Sligo (6.3f) 25 days ago. Entited to strip fitter for that in refitted hood/first-time tongue strap.
Clearly learnt plenty from debut and showed much improved form to get off the mark in 12-runner maiden (9/2) at Dundalk (7f) in December. Well held on handicap debut at the Curragh last month though, and now drops back markedly in trip
Windsor novice winner for Eve Johnson Houghton in July but not in same form on final 2 starts for that yard last term. Looked rusty and faced stiff task starting out for new yard at the Curragh in April and this promises to reveal more.
Son of Acclamation who has progressed with each start to date, posting a good second of 14 in maiden at Navan (5.8f) in July. Gelded ahead of return and good chance there’s more to come now handicapping.
Kodi Bear who showed something like her debut form switched to handicap company when third at Roscommon (7.5f) 17 days ago. Another not yet fully exposed and she’s worth a second look trying sprinting for the first time.
Improved model this year, registering a second career victory at Dundalk (6f) in April prior to posting a good third at Naas (5f) 3 weeks ago, deserving of extra credit having not been quite so well placed in the centre of the track. Remains of interest.
Showed ability on second of 3 starts in 7f maidens in recent weeks but progress required if he’s to feature on handicap debut.
Didn’t show much in a couple of turf maidens at 2 yrs but stepped forward switched to all-weather earlier this year, posting a good second on qualifying run in February. Similar form without threatening both starts thereafter and blinkers now reached for ahead of return to turf.
