Encouraging debut before 1l defeat over 5f where the front 2 pulled clear; the one to beat

Minor promise on debut and took step forward to be beaten 2l in 6f maiden; 5f may suit

Promising debut on AW; came on from return with 5l defeat latest; may yet do better

Big run on yard debut; not as good in 5f h'cap latest; needs career best back in maiden

Beaten 7l on debut last year; off 11 months and form hasn't really worked out

Showed ability on 2023 debut; well held on sole start last year and off 477-days

Looked promising last year but has barely beaten a rival in three runs for her new yard
1 (10)	Java Wood Grey J:Wesley Joyce(3) T:Kevin Michael Smith	J:Wesley Joyce(3) T:Kevin Michael Smith	135	h	70	-	65	49	13d	—	—	-2	0.8	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Improved from debut when beaten 5.5l latest but probably one for handicaps after this
3 (5)	Snowballs Bay J:Nathan Crosse T:W McCreery	J:Nathan Crosse T:W McCreery	134	—	—	-	48	31	13d	—	0W/0P 1 run	-2	0.9	10.00/1	40/1 2%
40-1 and well held behind some of these in a 6f Curragh maiden last month

Not a threat from basement marks in h'caps and this is tough back in a maiden; blinkers on
