Well beaten off in both runs this year, a Listed Guineas trial over 1m here (good) and latterly over the same trip at the Curragh (good) 25 days ago. Down in trip and needing a step forward.

Off the mark at the fourth attempting when winning over 5f at Navan (yielding-to-soft) in October, has been well held in three starts this term and now tackling this longer trip for the first time.

Ran two nice races in turf maidens at Naas (6f) and Leopardstown (1m) before getting off the mark last month over this trip on the AW at Dundalk. Needs to build on that effort again but could well be up to doing so.

Firm ground winner in France and only just denied on Irish bow at the Curragh (1m, yielding) last month in valuable fillies handicap. No surprise if there is more to come.

7/1
Won a C&D maiden in good style last summer but was subsequently put in her place in Pattern race company through the remainder of the season. Has been a struggle in four runs this year though most recent attempt at Naas (1m, good) was a step in the right direction again.

9/2
Unbeaten in two starts last season, both over this trip on turf (testing ground), the filly showed an excellent attitude in winning both races and must command respect despite a 235-day layoff.

Forecasts

Ma Fee Heela (11/4), Groundfrost (10/3), Jon Ess (7/2), Trevanna (9/2), Rock In Peace (9/2), Imagine If (5/1), Spanish Tenor (11/2), Oh Grace (7/1)

Verdict

An open contest and cases can easily be made for numerous runner, so the betting ought to prove rather informative. That said, ROCK IN PEACE has been very consistent this year and having scored nicely at Limerick last time, looks certain to give his running once more. He'll handle the likely the ground and looks a solid contender. Ma Fee Heela was off the mark at Dundalk last time and has the scope to be involved if building on that effort while Jon Ess and Groundfrost could have more to give. The unbeaten filly Trevanna merits a great deal of respect, especially should the market suggest she's ready to roll first time out.
  1. Rock In Peace
  2. Ma Fee Heela
  3. Trevanna
