May well have been collared by a decent sort on reappearance when going up to 1m2f for the first time at Naas ten days ago. Clear second however and claims once more now tackling this new trip.
Bit disappointing at Leopardstown on seasonal bow over 1m2f, never really posing any sort of threat. Steps up in distance again here and isn't cast aside yet.
Beaten less than 2L at this track in October in a 1m1f maiden on second start, reappears over this longer journey and is capable of having a say.
Unfancied in the betting and ran poorly on debut at Gowran Park over a mile in October (Haripour second), market may be the best guide to expectations now.
An average performance at Leopardstown earlier this month on debut over a mile, goes up in trip and possibly can do better second time out.
Perhaps a bit disappointing he didn't see it out on reappearance at Leopardstown, he holds multiple Classic entries for his outstanding trainer and may need a win here to justify those lofty expectations.
Didn't apply herself well on debut in a mile maiden at Leopardstown in October, clearly has the scope to do better. One of three for the trainer in this, market checks on all are essential.
Has to improve significantly on the form of two autumn appearances in mile maidens to play a role in this, yard in flying form.

Venice Beach (1/1), Haripour (7/2), Clongowes (4/1), Lucknow (9/1), Hillcrest Fire (14/1), Max Liebermann (16/1), Jigsaw (20/1), Little Princess (33/1), Regnum (66/1)
VENICE BEACH gets the cheekpieces added here for his third run and he has shaped nicely in two prior outings. He has some lofty entries and while it might be stretching it to suggest he'll have Classic designs, he certainly should have fair claims in a race of this nature now going up in distance. He looks to have plenty in hand on his two Ballydoyle stablemates. Clongowes ran a fine race on reappearance and might have run into an above average Weld newcomer in settling for second spot, he can go well here again. Hillcrest Fire is another that merits consideration having shown fair improvement at Cork over the weekend.
