Ex-Joseph O'Brien-trained filly, decent record around Dundalk on the AW, ran well there in third behind Premier League on debut for this yard off this rating, player if able to transfer form to turf.

Has been displaying signs of promise in maidens recently, including when third at Sligo (7f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Chance of going close now switching focus to handicap for the first time.

In good form this year, winning on reappearance over 6f at Dundalk in April and producing career-best last time out at Sligo (7f, good to soft) for second win in five starts. Up 5lb but won with a bit in hand last time.

Repeatedly gone well in maidens for Dermot Weld, including when close fourth over a mile at Gowran Park (soft) last month. Makes handicap debut with blinkers added and should be competitive from opening mark.

Kodiac filly has work to do based on form shown in three maidens so far, tongue tie on for this handicap bow and has scope to up game.

Six-race maiden for Ed Walker in Britain, makes first start for Jessica Harrington and needs to show improved form to make it a winning one.

Hasn't gone on from the promise of Dundalk debut over 7f in two further maidens. Plenty to prove on handicap / turf bow.

Poor effort in first-time cheekpieces (discarded) at Cork last month (6½f, heavy) last month. Needs to improve dramatically.

Forecasts

Mnemonic Alexander (7/2), Premier League (4/1), Shareva (4/1), Captain Vancouver (9/2), Golden Footsteps (11/2), My Snowdrop (7/1), Jazz Lady (9/1), Krispen (14/1), Highly Approved (14/1), Callanach (20/1)

Verdict

PREMIER LEAGUE appeared to get the job done with real ease last time at Sligo and a 5lb rise in the ratings may not be enough to halt his good run of form this year. The dangers are likely to stem from the handicap debutants Captain Vancouver, Shareva and My Snowdrop.
  1. Premier League
  2. Shareva
  3. Captain Vancouver
