C&D winner finished a fair fifth over 1m at Leopardstown (soft) in April but struggled at Bellewstown (1m, good) on only subsequent start. Others make more appeal.

35 race maiden ran one of her better races when sixth over 6f at Naas (good) earlier this month. Likely to find a few too good once more.

Handicap mark is falling having finished held on all three starts this season. Market support would be notable having won off a 15lb higher mark in the past.

Ten race maiden finished well held at Fairyhouse (7f, good) earlier this month. Probably best watched despite a 5lb drop in the weights.

Little Camacho (4/1), Silk Cravat (6/1), Guiding (7/1), Trueba (7/1), Piper Bomb (7/1), Bellick (10/1), Count Of Carabass (11/1), Conversant (12/1), Stormy Air (12/1), Three Angels (14/1), Downtown Diva (16/1), Talk Now (16/1), Chagall (20/1), Me Well (20/1), Tribal Path (20/1), Mimic's Memory (25/1), Texas Radio (25/1), Snow Hope (25/1), Dillygass (25/1)

Verdict

LITTLE CAMACHO showed good form on seasonal debut and she can go one better than when finishing runner-up that day. Trueba wasn't beaten far when fourth last time out and he is taken to claim second spot ahead of Talk Now who is debuting for a new yard having won on his most recent appearance.
