7/2

Looked to improve for the experience when landing a 12-runner Navan maiden on final start of the season in October. Still holds a couple of lofty entries and worth a market check.

8/11

Stayed on strongly to go clear in the final furlong when winning a Limerick maiden in October in a race that has produced the fourth place to win. Likely to be a warm order.

5/2

The win against the game Port Lions looked plenty gutsy at Dundalk on the AW in January before being out of her depth earlier this month in a hot Listed contest won by Mendelssohn. Not easily dismissed.

Form: 3-16

Imaging (8/11), Ship Of Dreams (5/2), Escamillo (7/2)

SHIP OF DREAMS is taken for a shock result here as she can be forgiven her last run when out of her depth in a Dundalk Listed contest earlier this month following a comfortable win over the improving and gutsy Godolphin charge Port Lions at the AW track in Janaury with the three-year-old going on to finish second again before winning earlier in the month. The Lope De Vega filly is up against it here but ground and allowances give her a squeek.
