3/1
Very good second of 9 in handicap (9/2) at the Curragh (5f, good) 16 days ago. On the upgrade recently and seems likely to play a part once more.

5/1
12/1, below form ninth of 16 in handicap at Navan (5f, soft) 41 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Should strip fitter for that and the handicapper has given her a big chance.

9/2
Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Navan (5f, good to soft, 4/1) 12 days ago. Needs to do more if she's to follow up.

9/2
Very good second of 10 in handicap at Cork (5f, good, 9/2) 37 days ago. Still not fully exposed and merits plenty of respect.

Six wins from 23 Flat runs. 7/1, respectable third of 10 in handicap at Cork (5f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Well treated if she can build on latest effort.

Tongue strap on for 1st time, last of 12 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6f, good, 14/1) 7 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Lightly-raced winner. Eleventh of 15 in handicap at Tipperary (5f, good, 33/1) 24 days ago. Others preferred.

Forecasts

Maria Branwell (3/1), Greek Flower (9/2), Escaping Thejungle (9/2), Screen Siren (9/2), Loveday (5/1), Curraheen Princess (6/1), Petit Calvados (8/1), Freedom Falls (20/1), Excesso Velocidad (40/1)

Verdict

LOVEDAY left the impression she'd come on for her reappearance at Navan and she's on an appealing mark, so she gets the nod ahead of Maria Brawn, who arrives on the back of an excellent second at the Curragh. Escaping Thejungle is another one to consider.
