Comment: Both runs at 6f; promising runner-up at the Curragh on debut and went one better at Cork since, just holding on after hanging left; that form is no more than solid but she is entitled to be still improving so has to be on the shortlist.

Comment: Built on promise of seasonal return and handicap debut when a 3l second of 15 over 7f here (good) last month; this step up in trip will suit on that evidence; leading chance off 2lb higher.

Comment: Modest maiden was beaten 15l on comeback at Bellewstown last week and has to improve loads.

Verdict: Not beaten far in a much more competitive Royal Ascot handicap over 1m4f last time, WATERFORD FLOW can get off the mark.

Comment: Won a 1m2.5f Dundalk maiden in March and a decent effort on handicap debut over a furlong shorter at Gowran on soft; raised 3lb but going back up in trip on better ground should help.

Comment: Some decent placed efforts in maidens up to 1m2.5f; not a bad effort either stepped up to 1m4f in a Royal Ascot handicap last time; this is much less competitive so should go closer.

Comment: Decent efforts in defeat in two Dundalk maidens up to 1m2.5f plus a Curragh maiden over 1m4f; beaten 5l in a 1m2f Down Royal handicap last time; needs a fair bit more down 1lb.

Comment: The best of three maiden runs when beaten nearly 8l in a Naas 1m maiden; takes a major step up in trip with a tongue-tie for handicap debut; market strength would be a pointer.

Comment: Went closest to scoring on nursery debut over 7f at the Curragh last year but has been below that level in three starts at 1m since; the step up in trip on faster ground with cheekpieces needs to help.
