Winner of two of her last four starts including when recording a head success at Navan (good) over 6f in April, she found a 7lb rise too much when well fended off at the Curragh last month. Goes up in trip now and weighted once more to go well.

Has won 3/16 career starts, ended last year under a cloud and two runs this time in have also been well below best, is however on a very workable mark if able to rediscover some spark.

Remains a maiden and unable to justify market support on four AW starts in Britain for Charlie Hills. Has run well in both starts on turf since switching to this yard however and holds strong claims on last time out Cork second.

Nicely-bred filly, she has twice gone well in maidens since returning to action this ear and no surprise to find her playing a leading role on this switch to handicaps.

Won a maiden for Jamie Osborne at Wolverhampton but she's struggled since plying her trade on these shores. She showed very little on first turf but did go somewhat better dropped to a mile at Leopardstown with cheekpieces added. Down further in trip, with headgear retained, may have some chance.

Just the one win from previous 24 starts but has been faring a bit better lately. Mark is sliding all the while and addition of useful 5lb claimer here is another help.

A 23-race maiden, she's been soundly beaten in two recent starts since joining this yard. Gets first-time blinkers added here and drop sin trip again. Needs more from somewhere.

Remains a maiden but has run some better races this season. Wasn't disgraced over 1m at Limerick on Saturday off this mark and could figure in the finish over this shorter trip.

Took a backwards step last time out at Gowran Park in 1m apprentice contest, though two previous runs this term had bene promising.

Is rated 7lb higher than when winning AW handicap at Dundalk over 7f in December, recent efforts at the track have been timid but did go perilously close off a mark of 53 at Naas in August (7f, good).

Soundly beaten in all four starts to date, including recent handicap debut over 1m (good to firm) at Leopardstown when sporting a first-time hood. Plenty to work on.

Soundly beaten in four starts on the AW last year, though ran better than finishing position suggested on handicap debut over 1m in the last of those. Is rated 6lb lower for turf bow and from respected yard, isn't ruled out despite fitness being a concern.

Another making turf debut and with something to find on form. Finished 5½L seventh of 14 at Dundalk last month, gets tongue strap on first time for this.

Forecasts

Initially (7/2), Old Time Waltz (9/2), Teo's Music (9/2), Feeling Easy (7/1), Secret Path (8/1), Mzuri (14/1), Turn On The Tears (14/1), Ken's Sam's (14/1), Fascinating Lady (16/1), Victorious Secret (20/1), All About Grace (20/1), Darling Days (25/1), Surewhynot (33/1)

Verdict

Not the strongest of contests, it is probably best to forget Ken's Sam's previous run and judge her on prior success at Navan, rated only 3lb higher for this, she enters calculations. Feeling Easy has been showing some promise lately and the 5lb claim from Oisin Orr should help while Teo's Music was perhaps a bit unlucky not to finish a closer at Limerick on Saturday. DARLING DAYS was well beaten in maidens but ran well enough for a long way over a mile on final start last year at Dundalk to merit some hope coming back and making her first turf start. She's been given a chance by the assessor and, with the Harrington team respected, gets a tentative vote to shade this. Initially, second last time out at Cork, must rate as one of the more likely contenders.
  1. Darling Days
  2. Initially
  3. Feeling Easy
