Maiden winner in Ireland at 2 but struggled later in the season. 33/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Sligo (5.7f, soft) on reappearance in April (final start for Adrian Murray). Hood back on. Worth a betting check now setting out for new trainer Alice Haynes.

Forecasts

Princess Naomi (1/1), Muy Muy Guapo (4/1), Jimmy Lifestyle (6/1), Kodi Noir (15/2), Lahina Bay (9/1), Katar (25/1), Vinaka (33/1), Duisker (40/1), Hiya Hiya (80/1)

PRINCESS NAOMI is the most solid option here and is taken to strike under Oisin Murphy. Lahina Bay was a creditable third on her Lingfield reappearance and should be in the shake-up if showing up in similar form. Duisker and Jimmy Lifestyle are handicap newcomers to keep an eye on in the betting.
