9/5

Comment: No improvement since second over 1m at Dundalk in January on the second of three AW starts; however, has a claim as form horse here on her fourth of 13 over an extended 1m2f at Down Royal last time on her second turf outing.

3/1

Comment: Won 1m Bellewstown maiden last year, earning an initial rating of 80; regressive this season and has now slumped to a career-low 66; fair run from out of the handicap at Naas three starts ago; vulnerable on the balance of handicap form; however, she is suited by the race conditions; cheekpieces (replacing blinkers) may help.

Comment: Started the season with two satisfactory displays, fifth of 11 over 1m at Bellewstown (good) and a close fourth of 16 over 7f at Gowran (soft); questions to answer after a poor 1m run at Leopardstown (good); longer trip should be fine if restored to form; would get 5lb from stablemate Nobler in a handicap.

Comment: Ordinary form at around 1m4f for Owen Burrows; won a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan for this yard in April; returned to the Flat with a poor run at Listowel 22 days ago (2m, good); unlikely to be involved.

Comment: Dundalk maiden winner over 1m2f in February; second that day was What's Your Game, now rated 93; he was a subsequent winner and was just 3l behind the recent Queen's Vase winner, Carmers, in a Listed race; Heather looked as though she would appreciate this step up in trip after staying on but unable to catch the winner the last day over 1m2f at Naas.

Comment: Has won 2-3 this year; both wins coming over 1m4f at Dundalk and Gowran; bounced back from a poor Sligo run when winning at Gowran; she pulled clear that day so the extra furlong doesn't look like it will pose problems; up 7lb but she can go well again.
