Comment: Cheap purchase wasn't disgraced on debut at the Curragh 15 days ago when sent off at 250-1, finishing 5.5l behind a pair of Ballydoyle-trained runners; won't have to improve a great deal to figure.

Comment: Five-time winner, including over C&D; won off 63 at Fairyhouse last year; now 8lb lower; has failed to trouble the judge in four runs this season but drying ground will be massively in her favour; capable of going close if she gets a strong pace to aim at.

Comment: Won twice on turf over 1m1f in 2023 (including around here) and landed AW handicap last year; pick of six runs this year when beaten only 2.5l from a wide draw over C&D in March; had a troubled passage when fifth here (1m1f) two weeks ago; each-way contender.
