Has proved disappointing in light of her pedigree, and best effort when fifth in a Down Royal maiden last month. No excuses when mid-field on nursery bow at Dundalk (7f), and return to 5f not sure to suit.
Best effort in maidens when fifth of 13 to Coral Beach in 6f event at Cork last time, making the running. Going the right way, and return to 5f may help given similar tactics.
Improved for drop in grade when landing a 6f Naas claimer last month, but only 8L ninth of 12 to Eagle Song in a competitive nursery at Dundalk last time, and opposable for all this is a lesser contest.
In frame on both starts in nurseries from this mark, but consistent rather than progressive, and while she should give her running, she will remain vulnerable to less exposed rivals.
Got off the mark in a 5½f nursery at Naas on good ground last month, and ran well when fourth on similar event over extended 6f at Cork last time. Won't be far away if continuing in similar vein.
Seemed to run well when a close seventh in a 5f Naas maiden on penultimate start, but proved a disappointment over same course and distance on nursery bow last time.
Shaped well enough on first start in nurseries at the Curragh, but hasn't backed that impression up in two subsequent handicap starts, and needs blinkers to help him take advantage of a slipping mark.
Exposed maiden who finished behind Rangefield Express when last but one in a 6f nursery at Cork last time, and is somehow worse off at the weights with that rival now
Third in a 7f Leopardstown claimer in July, and filled same spot behind Fox Hill at Naas on penultimate outing. Ran a stinker in similar company last time, however, and something to prove now.
Has improved in blinkers of late, finishing second in a nursery at Naas, and running to a similar level when fifth of 16 behind Fox Hill in a 6f claimer there last time (Man of The Sea third). Better off with that pair now, and needs consideration.
Established as a poor performer, but has found her level, and stayed on late when 4½L third of 11 to So Familiar in a 6f nursery at Cork last time. May do better again, but drop in trip far from certain to help her here.

Dancing Mountain (9/2), Commodus (11/2), Cruella Dovil (13/2), Man Of The Sea (8/1), Mi Esperanza (8/1), Rangefield Express (8/1), Emily Grace (8/1), Dottie Vallens (10/1), Meryems Way (12/1), Fox Hill (12/1), Cozy Sky (12/1), Montalvan (20/1)
EMILY GRACE was behind a couple of these in a claimer at Naas last time, but she is significantly better off at the weights, and will be suited by the drop in trip. Fox Hill won that race, and has more chance here than he did in a hot Dundalk nursery last time, while Dancing Mountain is performing at a consistent level, and shouldn't be far away.
