Progressive sort who won at Wolverhampton and Lingfield this spring before excellent third when going for the hat-trick at Newbury 6 weeks ago (likely to have gone close without the interference).

Dual course winner, including on 2025 return. Not given a hard time on this season's comeback and she duly left that well behind when good fourth of 22 here (6f) 5 weeks ago, just run out of things late on by a trio that raced away from her. Worth another go at 5f and player in first-time headgear.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCurragh6fGoodFlat4/22Curragh6fHeavyFlat6/9Curragh6fYielding to SoftFlat9/10Curragh6fYieldingFlat16/23Curragh6f 63yGood (Good to Yielding in places)Flat3/16- 10(2)Red EvolutionJ: D.

Did well last season, excellent second in this before improving again when recording third win at Cork on final start in July. Shaped as if better for the run at Dundalk on return in March but off since, which is of slight concern given profile.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosDundalk5fStandardFlat4/6Cork5fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat1/12Curragh5fGoodFlat2/14Curragh5fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat7/14Cork5fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat1/8- 11(9)MoltophinoJ: C.

Useful gelding but without a success since the Temple Stakes at Haydock in 2024 for Clive Cox. Yet to fire this season (not the force of old) and was always behind on return to handicap company at Navan 3 weeks ago.

Back to very best when narrow winner over C&D in April (heavy) 7 weeks ago.

Having fallen below her latest winning mark, she landed a gamble a shade cosily when dropped in grade at Cork this month. Defied a 10 lb rise in good style at Down Royal 9 days ago but looks vulnerable under a penalty in much better race.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosDown Royal5fSoftFlat1/6Cork5fGoodFlat1/10Curragh6fGoodFlat20/22Curragh5fSoftFlat6/10Curragh6fSoft to HeavyFlat14/16- 4(3)ErosandpsycheJ: G.

As good as ever when successful in a big-field handicap here (6f) on return but has yet to build on that since, seeming unsuited by the drop to this trip at Cork latest.

Speedy front runner who was collared only on the line under this rider at Navan on return.
