Game winner over this trip at Navan last time, though with claimer gone and a 3lb rise is facing a stiff task to back that up now. Could be improving and trainer / jockey have been in excellent form this week already.
She's recorded all four career wins over 5f, including 29 days ago on the AW at Dundalk. Gets to bid for follow-up from 2lb lower mark on turf and has been beaten less than 2L on three most recent attempts over this trip.
Sole victory in four outings came over this trip, encouraging run last month at Limerick over 7f and has to be given claims off 2lb lower mark dropping back down in trip with first-time cheekpieces.
Maiden victory came over 5f at this track in June last, has run her best races over the minimum trip and, while that's a concern here, probably shouldn't be judged too harshly on last month's reappearance at Navan over this trip.
Limerick maiden winner over 6½f on soft ground in the autumn. Found Group 3 company too hot on return to action and bit to find on subsequent Gowran Park handicap run, both over 7f. Drop back should suit and 2lb better off plus claimer allowance.
Extra weight perhaps told on return from short break at Navan last time over 5f, though anything but disgraced in close fifth of 19. Runs off the same mark here and extra distance shouldn't be a concern.
Has won 3/15 career starts, ended last year in underwhelming form and very disappointing on reappearance on AW at Dundalk last month over 7f. Runs off previous winning mark however if taking a step in the right direction.
Desperately unlucky in a succession of turf maidens last year before scoring on AW at Dundalk over this trip. May have needed reappearance at Navan recently and has been given a chance by the assessor now from a 5lb lower mark.
Had struggled to justify market support in succession of turf maidens before ending last year with victory over this trip on AW at Dundalk, first outing since December and handicap bow now, opening mark doesn't appear harsh.
Won a Naas maiden over this trip in August, since found it tough in handicaps and folded very quickly six days ago over 7f at Gowran Park. Seems best to take a watching brief for now.
Won first two starts in Britain for former trainer over 5f last year and ran commendable race over that trip in Royal Ascot Group 2, but it has been downhill since and was soon beaten in Listed 6f contest at Navan on debut for this yard 13 days ago. Needs to rediscover her mojo.

Peticoatgovernment (10/3), Hunaina (7/2), Oneoveryou (6/1), Ken's Sam's (13/2), Waitaki (7/1), Stormy Belle (9/1), Art Nouvelle (10/1), Palavicini Run (10/1), Victorious Secret (14/1), Miss Cogent (20/1), Kocollada (20/1), Haqeeba (25/1)
A wide open contest to get proceedings underway in Mallow, there are plenty with chances. Peticoatgovernment was a game scorer last time out and her connections are in super form but these terms demand plenty more. Oneoveryou is in good heart but has done all her winning over 5f and may again struggle over this trip, handicap debutant Waitaki has been given a chance but has let supporters down in the past and so it falls to HUNAINA to potentially collect the spoils. The Aga Khan filly was desperately unlucky in maidens last year before belatedly scoring on the AW, she may have needed the recent run at Navan but ran well enough to suggest she can improve and score here from a 5lb lesser mark. Last time out improver Ken's Sam's isn't out of this if that was a sign of a corner being turned.
- Hunaina
- Waitaki
- Ken's Sam's
