Beaten 1½L when finishing runner-up over 7f at Gowran Park (soft) on her debut for this yard three weeks ago. Races off a 2lb higher mark today and likely to run well once more.
Completed a hat-trick when winning by 2L over an extended 7f at Roscommon (yielding-to-soft) last August but disappointed on heavy ground at Listowel subsequently. Makes her seasonal debut here for a yard with a 28% strike-rate of late (5/18).
C&D winner in a maiden 13 months ago but finished last of 13 on her final start of 2016 over 1m2f here and a similar result on her first start of 2017 at Leopardstown last month.
Off the mark at the second attempt over an extended 1m2f at Dundalk 13 months ago. Finished runner-up off this mark over 1m at Leopardstown (good) in June but held twice since including on seasonal debut earlier this month.
Running well this year placing at Cork and Leopardstown on soft and heavy ground prior to winning a 21 runner event over 7f on good ground at The Curragh last week. Races off a 4lb higher mark here and likely to run well again today.
Stepped up on her seasonal debut when finishing ½L third in a 16 runner contest at Limerick (good) a month ago. Subsequently finished a respectable fifth at Naas over 1m on good-to-firm ground and interesting in this.
Dual winner in a 14 race career. Improved for her seasonal debut 12th over 6f at Naas (yielding) last month when finishing ¾L second over 7f at Gowran Park (soft) three weeks ago. Cheekpieces left off on that occasion return here and a leading contender here.
Successful twice on the AW at Dundalk earlier this year and finished a neck runner-up in a 16 runner contest over 1m at Limerick (good) last month. Held twice since however and an interesting contender here.
Successful over 1m at Dundalk in December and ran well to finish runner-up on her seasonal debut when beaten a head over 1m at Cork (good-to-firm) a fortnight ago. Races off a 2lb higher mark here and interesting once more.
Lightly-raced filly and ran well when beaten 1L into second in a 20 runner 1m maiden at Leopardstown (yielding) last October. Worth a check in the market on her handicap and seasonal debut today.
Tramore maiden winner over 1m4f on good ground last August and beaten 13L into third over that distance when third at Roscommon (good) last time out. Making her first appearance over 1m in 12 months with cheekpieces returning here.
Beaten 4L on his first turf run of the season over 1m at Leopardstown (soft) last month and successful on the AW at Dundalk over the same distance last time out. Races off a 4lb higher mark here and may struggle to repeat that success in this.
Most recent success came at Leopardstown over 1m on soft ground last month. Finished 12th behind Coreczka at Dundalk two weeks ago and this return to turf looks likely to suit.
Forecasts
The Tulip (5/1), Flirt (6/1), Balcony (6/1), Honor Oak (7/1), Bainne (7/1), Elusive Approach (8/1), Valentana (8/1), Midnitemudcrabs (9/1), Remarkable Lady (16/1), Prove The Point (20/1), Coreczka (20/1), Duchess Of France (20/1), Misty Millie (25/1)
FLIRT ran well to finish third on her debut for this stable at Gowran Park last month and she can go two better upped to 1m in this contest. The selection spent most of 2016 tackling Listed events and the drop in grade appeared to suit last time out and she can get the better of Midnitemudcrabs who finished just in front of her on that occasion while Bainne can claim third on a mark 4lb higher than when successful at The Curragh last week.
