80/1

Still a maiden after 11 starts and well held in 11th of 14 in handicap (100/1) at Dundalk 21 days ago. Drop in weight needs to spark improvement.

15/2

Inconsistent performer with two second-place finishes over 7f on turf. Ninth of 11 in handicap over C&D (7/1) 7 days ago when racing off the pace and making no impression. Visor back on having previously helped with a near-miss.

7/2

Finished 2nd of 13 at Dundalk (8f, 5/1) 12 days ago after 7-month break and trainer change. Tongue strap returns; 3lb rise seems manageable at this level. Good claims.

Forecasts

Profit Surge (7/2), Lahore Da King (4/1), Beat The Devil (4/1), Rock Basher (6/1), Drafted (13/2), Bamako (15/2), Jazzy Dancer (15/2), Heart Of Darkness (10/1), Givehertilxmas (14/1), Winemaker (14/1), Lorr's Girl (16/1), Desert Of The Sea (22/1), Run Forrest Run (22/1), Haeret In Pectore (28/1), Marbush (28/1), Kayamite (33/1), Brosna Green (80/1)

PROFIT SURGE is yet to win but showed significant promise when second here 12 days ago on her debut for a new trainer. With the tongue strap back on and only a 3lb rise, she can break her maiden. Heart of Darkness drops back in trip with first-time blinkers which may sharpen her focus, while course winner Jazzy Dancer can also figure.
