Without a win on turf from 15 starts but she is a filly that deserves a change of luck following consistent runs over the summer.

C&D winner here off a 5lb lower mark in July. Ran well for a while in a 7f Listowel handicap on heavy ground last month before weakening in the closing stages. Place claims back here.

Course winner that has also won over this trip. Has hit the frame on three occasions on this type of surface and should be taken seriously here.

Beaten a little over 6L on only run on heavy ground here over 1m last month. Open to progress here and one for the shortlist.

Won a Cork handicap off a similar mark on heavy ground in April. Well held since but could go well at a price back on this mark.

Just one placed effort in her 15 career starts to date. Unlikely to play a part in the finish here.

Well held and no impression on a number of starts since June. Respected having first run for new connections and market likely to be the best guide.

Distance winner of a Sligo handicap over two years ago. Has hit the frame on a couple of occasions on this surface and should make her presence felt once again.

Generally well held in a number of starts since April and may find one or two progressing at a faster rate here.

Distance winner of a Sligo handicap when last seen in June, getting off the mark for connections at the 15th time of asking. Placed on the ground and capable of running a big race here.

Well beaten and never nearer in five career starts since October before a promising third of 15 beaten a little over 5L in a Roscommon handicap over this trip last month. Could be on a lenient mark here.

Failed to follow up a couple of promising runs at Gowran Park and Down Royal when finishing down the field in a couple of starts recently. Ground a concern.

Six-race maiden, best effort so far over 1m4f on soft going at Roscommon in August. Hard to construct much of a case for the filly here.

Nothing of note in a number of laboured performances since returning to action in August. Looks up against it on this ground.

Not much to shout about in four dismal career performances to date since May. Will need to raise overall performance to play a role here.

Forecasts

Solomons Seal (6/1), Althib (6/1), Musical Jewel (13/2), Gizi Gazelle (13/2), Mr Whoppit (8/1), Stamp Of Authority (10/1), The Bittern Cry (10/1), Just Waterville (10/1), Piper Bomb (12/1), Cosmic Symbol (16/1), Marmalade N Toast (20/1), Botanical Lady (20/1), Sally Gap (20/1), Kodianne (25/1), Deauville Society (33/1), Royal Alto (40/1)

Verdict

Off the mark at the 15th time of asking for connections, MUSICAL JEWEL can add to her tally from a 2lb higher mark and the claim of jockey Andrew Slattery who holds 7lb here. Stamp Of Authority can emerge as the biggest danger following his neck defeat over C&D by the selection. Solomons Seal and The Bittern Cry are both capable of hitting the frame, while Cosmic Symbol will relish the ground, going well at a price.
