A competitive race. The 3yos Brigid's Cloak, Island Girl and Miracle Beauty are closely matched on recent Naas form and there shouldn't be much between them again. Saturn Seven is nicely treated and ran better than the result suggests last time so she makes the short list but preference is for STAYSOUND SUSIE. Her yard is in fine form, she ran a fine race at Naas last time out and has run well on both previous visits to this track. [Dave Stephens]

Gained back to back wins in October 2023, including over C&D (heavy); mostly consistent last year, though did run poorly over 5f here on her last start of the season; remains 16lb above last win and lacks a run but has gone well fresh before so could run into the money.
3yo won a 5.5f maiden at Sligo last August; subsequently ran well in two nurseries before going down by a nose in a Listed heat at Newmarket in November; stopped quickly at Naas on seasonal return in March (7f, heavy); probably best watched in first-time cheekpieces.
Won twice last year including a 6f fillies' handicap at Cork off 76; best run this season on latest when beaten 0.5l at Naas (6f, good) and runs off the same mark here; has run well on both previous visits to this venue and has to be considered.
Won over 7f (good) here last season and added another course win on seasonal return in March over C&D (soft) off 74; 4lb higher now and will need a career best off this mark.
3yo won sole start at two at Dundalk last October (7f); struggled on turf debut in a first-time hood (discarded) at Gowran (7f, yielding); half-sister to Requinto could be suited by the drop back to 6f and better ground; not discounted on handicap debut.
Sole win came in a 6f maiden at Dundalk for Paddy Twomey last April; yet to hit top form in four starts for Ado McGuinness; drops to 6f after heavy defeat at Gowran (7f) on testing ground; mark sliding but more needed.
Is 1-16 on turf, the win coming in April 2024 at Naas (6f, yielding) off 66; good effort on seasonal return over C&D (soft) last month when a 1.75l third off 78; poor effort latest at Naas (6f, gd-yld); down 4lb and now 7lb lower than when beaten 1.75l here last June; place chance at least.
3yo won a maiden second time up last season; well-beaten behind Swelter in a Group 3 at Leopardstown on return; hung left when a 7.75l fourth of 17 in 3yo handicap at Naas last time (behind Brigid's Cloak); more needed off 3lb lower mark; cheekpieces reached for.
3yo was kept busy at two, her sole win coming in a Thirsk novice (6f, gd-sft); ran well in big sales races at Naas and Newmarket on yielding and soft ground; has failed to fire in two starts for Adrian Murray at Dundalk; a bit to prove for now.
3yo won a 7f maiden at Leopardstown (soft) last season; drops back in trip after a trio of modest efforts at 10.5f-7f this year; this trip is an unknown but she's a half-sister to a 6f winner and the handicapper is giving her a chance; not discounted.
3yo remains a maiden after six starts (five on turf); decent efforts both starts this term at Naas over 5f (sft-hvy) and 6f (gd-yld) when splitting Brigid's Cloak and Miracle Beauty; has placed maiden form on good; mark has dropped to 73; could go well.
Is 2-18, won a 5f handicap on soft to heavy here in October 2023 off 68; best run last year came over C&D (good) when beaten a head off 65; ran better than finishing position suggests on return earlier this month; 6lb below last win now; interesting.
AW winner is 0-6 on turf but has run well in defeat; finished second of 17 on latest at Naas when had a couple of today's rivals behind but was 7.5l behind the winner; 1lb wrong here but she has place claims again.
Won two of final three starts last season at Navan (6f, gd-yld) off 53 and Naas (6f, yielding) off 55; ran well over C&D in October; lacks a run and is 1lb wrong at the weights; not fully discounted but others may be sharper today.
