Made some decent strides last term over timber, last spotted being well beaten 3m Grade 1 novice event at Punchestown in April, should have good claims if ready to go in this.

Winner over 2m3½f at Kilbeggan on soft ground penultimate start and was shaping with a deal of promise earlier this week at Galway when coming to grief two out, chance if none the worse for that.

Gained first win over timber at the eighth attempt this month over 2m4f at Clonmel, this calls for more again but not ruled out.

Forecasts

Moulin A Vent (4/9), Jaime Sommers (11/4), Runyon Rattler (6/1), Masterson (9/1), High Nellie (12/1)

Verdict

Jaime Sommers was going well enough when falling earlier in the week at Galway and could easily bounce back but it is always tough to quantify how much that sort of mishap has taken out of a horse, especially with the quick turnaround. Noel Meade's team are in good form and it might prove worth backing MOULIN A VENT for a winning return. She proved below graded company late last season but is given the nod for this suitable return to the track. Masterson and Runyon Rattler are next best.
