Highly tried last year, SENNA'S GIRL (nap) was just denied back in maiden company at Gowran last month when finishing with a real flourish over 7f, and upped in trip here can confirm that form with both Hopes Are High and Dahoma. Banner Beauty would be a threat to all if reappearing in the sort of form he showed here last October for a previous yard. [Alan Hewison]

Definite step forward on latest outing when staying on fourth (beaten under 2l) at Gowran last month; bit to find with both Senna's Girl and Hopes Are High on that run but definitely one to consider.
Nicely improved on comeback when third (Senna's Girl second, Dahoma fourth) over 7f at Gowran last month on soft but not as effective on quicker ground in similar contest early this month; not sure this longer trip is what he wants and ground concerns.
9,000Euros yearling; half-brother to four winners including Spiritual Star (7f-8.6f including at 2/AW; RPR 106); dam 7f 2yo/1m winner (87); likely all the better for the experience.
Saxon Warrior half-brother to winners Arqoob (1m-1m4f Flat inc AW, RPR 98; 2m hurdle), Chimney Rock (German 1m1f/1m3f; 96) and Dromantine (7f AW 2yo; 79); dam 6f/7f winner (inc AW; 96); yard outsider on recent debut but showed some promise in 1m2f Navan maiden without landing a blow; back in trip here and likely improver.
King Of Change gelding is first foal of a hurdle winner, a half-sister to Listed-placed 1m-1m1f winner Major Title, family of Doncaster Cup winner Far Cry; newcomer best watched.
Make Believe gelding a 11,000Euros yearling; half-brother to four winners inc Rhythmic Intent (1m2f-14.5f; RPR 103), Chance To Dream (1m/1m2f; 82) and Labyrinth (1m; 80); dam unraced grandaughter of French Oaks winner Caerlina; newcomer best watched unless market suggests otherwise.
Nice run here on second of two starts last year for the Halford/Collins team, keeping on well over 7f when beaten 1l into fourth; this trip could prove her limit but definite player on that run.
Outran big odds on Curragh debut in March (7f, soft) but not so effective given a greater stamina test (1m, heavy) at Gowran following month, not the best of starts and meeting trouble in running; remains a potential improver and encounters much quicker ground here.
Showed some ability in late-season Thurles 2yo maiden but two runs this term in headgear have been disappointing, fading tamely each time; tongue-tie worn latest now discarded; hard to be confident in and current rating probably flatters her.
Debut promise behind two high-class 2yo fillies in Curragh maiden last summer probably flattered her and she came up short when highly tried afterwards; good run back to maiden company on last month's Gowran return, coming home best of all for second (Hopes Are High third and Dahoma fourth) over 7f (soft); shapes as though she'll stay 1m and leading player if she does.
