25/1

Comment: Well beaten at Cork on seasonal reappearance but rider lost her irons and had little control so one to put a line through; six wins have come at around 1m on turf and AW; handicapper knows him well but generally runs a nice race.

Comment: Won twice over 1m for Johnny Murtagh as a 3yo in maiden and claiming company; hasn't cut much ice in handicap starts since then; cheekpieces would need to spark life into her.

Jockey: Reserve 2 Trainer: Adrian McGuinness Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 280044 OR: 64

Comment: Second reserve; no wins on turf following 14 starts but has won three times on the AW; best run for awhile came in a Leopardstown handicap last time when 2.75l behind the winner (7f, soft); was disappointing on only start at this venue in May (7f, good).

17/10

Comment: AW winner, showed potential for turf success with several good Curragh runs last season; beaten favourite in races at Limerick and the Curragh this season for this stable; seems risky but could feature; competing from a new career-low, 23lb below initial mark after debut win.

Comment: Not a frequent winner (5-64, placed 12 times) and placed only once from eight starts this year; however, she looked unlucky when third over 6f at Fairyhouse two weeks ago and could go close.
