Impressive winner of a C&D maiden three weeks ago; holds plenty of Group 1 entries

Well beaten on her only try at this trip but should go well on the best of her 5f form

Found the step up to Group 1 company in the Phoenix Stakes too much; should do better

Cork winner could easily take another step forward in his biggest test to date

Won on debut at Navan in June but completely eclipsed in better company since

No impression in the Ballyhane Stakes; plenty to find on ratings and looks up against it

Never involved after a slow start in a 5f Tipperary maiden in May; very hard to assess
