Fairyhouse.ie Nursery Handicap

Built on a promising debut with a cosy victory over Bold Commander at Bellewstown (5f). Highly tried in listed company both starts since, the latest of those easily forgiven (left poorly placed). Bred to stay 6f and looks favourably treated on first run in a handicap.

6-figure purchase as a yearling. Has shown ability in maidens, finishing 7¼ lengths fifth behind some above-average types on qualifying run at Gowran (7f). That form has merit, and she could well improve now sent handicapping by an in-form yard.

Caught the eye/finished with running left when beaten 5 lengths on qualifying run at Navan last time. Step back up in trip looks sure to suit and she's a likely improver with Colin Keane taking over on nursery bow.

Hasn't lived up to his pedigree/price tag. Beaten 4 lengths from out of the weights on nursery bow at Navan last time. Does at least race off his proper mark in a lesser event here and is presumably the pick of Wayne Lordan (yard also saddle Bold Commander).

Down the field in a Curragh maiden that's worked out well on debut. Sharper when third to a now-useful one over C&D subsequently and still looked in need of the experience when filling the same position (beaten 9 lengths) on qualifying run at Navan last time. Opening mark potentially a handy one.

Proved consistent rather than progressive in maidens. Beaten 8¼ lengths on nursery debut at Navan (6f) last time. Handicapper has offered some welcome respite, however, Ben Coen prefers Pink Venom on this occasion.

Sent off long odds all 3 maiden starts. Showed a bit more when beaten 13½ lengths on qualifying run at Naas (6f, 500/1). Has likely been campaigned with this switch to handicaps in mind, but she faces no easy task from 7 lb out of the weights.
