15/2

Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 13-runner maiden at Leopardstown (7.1f, soft, 8/1) on her latest start in October. Significantly up in trip for this polytrack debut and she's a key player.

4/5

Thrice-raced winner. Won 14-runner maiden at this course (8f, 5/4), suited by increase in trip. Off 91 days and she may well fare better still now moving up to middle-distances.

11/4

Lightly-raced winner. One win from 3 runs last year. 4/1, very good third of 7 in handicap at this course (8f) 25 days ago, not ideally placed. Big player with this stiffer test likely to be right up his street.

11/2

Lightly-raced winner. 10 lengths eighth of 11 to Whirl in Staffordstown Stud Stakes at the Curragh (8f, soft, 100/1), merely closing up late. Off 122 days and significantly up in trip here. Yard saddles a stronger candidate in Carolina Jetstream.

The sole colt in the line-up, IOWNTHEBALL, looks the way to go on the back of a solid handicap debut third over a mile here last month, shaping as though he'd relish this step up in trip. Just Before signed off her 2-y-o campaign with a Leopardstown maiden success and she is feared most ahead of fellow last-time-out winner Carolina Jetstream.
