Held in all four maiden outings including over an extended 1m1f here in May, before an encoraging fifth of 16 at Naas over 1m2f last week.
Just moderate promise in three maidens last year for Dermot Weld, though ran well enough on handicap bow at Cork in May over 1m, before finishing fifth of 10 over 1m2f in a Leopardstown handicap last month.
A €40,000Y half-sister to several winners, including 5f/6f winner Love Intrigue. Nothing to get excited about in four runs, but yard in good form and have a good record at this course in July/August.
Not much to take from his return to action after undergoing a gelding operation, well beaten on AW at Dundalk in March and again last month over 1m on turf at Navan, before, again, no impression in Limerick handicap two weeks ago.
Won a modest handicap in good style on the AW in May, before well beaten, back on the Navan turf a month ago. Yard going well though.
Well held in three maiden races over 1m2f so far including at The Curragh and showed encouragement on handicap debut last time out when third of 16 at Naas last week.
No impression and well beaten on all three starts so far. Cheek pieces fitted for the first time here, though improvement improbable.
Well beaten in soft ground at Naas on return to action and improved upon that effort at Leopardstown in April, improved again when beaten not far in a Limerick 3-year-old handicap, but beaten 7+L last time out here, a month ago.
Not the most promising 2yo last season and has struggled in three runs since coming back in. Improved with when switched into the care of Willie McCreery and one to take a hand.
Three good runs already this season, including over this trip at Navan last month when close second of 22 on good to firm ground. Beaten favourite last time out, following a fine second here last month.
Sole success came here over 7f on soft-to-heavy ground when wearing blinkers for the first time in October. No encouragement on three starts this season.
Beaten on all five starts this season, though encouraging 4¾L defeat last time out in a Leopardstown handicap. Young jockey among the winners last week at Ballinrobe.
Well beaten in three completions in maiden company since pulling up on debut last November, though made a decent stride forward when sent handicapping with a decennt performance at Fairyhouse, before bombing there last month.
Eleven races without a win so far, though did take a step in the right direction over 6f at Fairyhouse last month, before beaten 12L last time out.
Has run four times and managed to beat only four of the 54 rivals she's faced. Returned from a break with a 27L defat over 1m2f at Navan.

Less Of That (5/1), Always Dancing (11/2), Miss Snossyboots (6/1), Level Of Intensity (7/1), Jigsaw (7/1), Seapoint (8/1), Pronounced (8/1), Simafar (10/1), Richard Strauss (12/1), What About Bob (16/1), A Place Apart (16/1), Elzaa (16/1), Milish (33/1), Jose Echegaray (33/1), Forevertwentyone (40/1), Famous Beauty (50/1)
Not a great deal of pace on here. Quite a few of these have no idea where the winners enclosure is, so it may be better to stick with the likes of Simafar, Richard Strauss, Less Of That and Pronounced, who have shown bits of form, while WHAT ABOUT BOB is a course winner.
