One career win from nine starts and that was on the All-Weather. Well beaten 22L, 19th of 22 last time out and best to look elsewhere.

Learning all the time and first-time blinkers, did the trick last time out in a Leopardstown maiden on good ground. Yard are six from 25 at this meeting in the last four years, with their three-year-olds,boasting a 24% strike-rate.

Ran well in a Gowran Park listed contest and the Group 3 Munster Oaks in the spring, before finding the Group 2 Kilboy at Curragh beyond her. Could take a hand back at this level.

Forecasts

Abyssinian (8/13), Sea Swift (3/1), Bhutan (9/2), New Story (16/1), Appointment Only (66/1)

Verdict

Sea Swift was held up in a change of tactics, which could make for a falsely run event, where the presence of Bhutan is fascinating, while he will have to bring his A game to trouble the improving ABYSSINIAN, whose yard are six from 25 at this meeting in the last four years, with their three-year-olds,boasting a 24% strike-rate.
  1. Abyssinian
  2. Bhutan
  3. Sea Swift
