Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap

Trainer has won three of the last five renewals, all with imports making seasonal/stable debut; this one, bought for 190,000euros after two wins in France (on soft and AW), fits the bill with a tongue-tie added; has won over 1m7f, and never raced over less than 1m4f, but likely she's shown enough pace at home to come here.

Respected connections and had smart form at two, placed twice and beaten less than 5l in Curragh Group 3; missed 3yo campaign; disappointing in a winnable maiden on her return over 1m3f at Bellewstown, but trainer has said his horses have been a bit behind schedule this year; handicap debut.

Had looked fairly exposed but found more improvement last term and has carried that on with two excellent runs at the Curragh this spring, latest when third behind two progressive sorts over 1m2f; ground not being as soft as she'd like is one concern, as is a poor strike-rate for one of her ability.

Won over 1m4f either side of being well beaten in this race last year, and been in good form over that trip on AW lately; dropping back in trip not a positive.

Versatile as regards trip; 1m4f winner last year and finished the season well with placed efforts in big fields at the Curragh, latterly over 1m; too keen on last month's return; would prefer it softer.
