Lightly-raced filly from a top yard; responded well for pressure to win her maiden over C&D but lacked the gears to land a blow when upped to 6f at Naas (handicap debut); could be given another chance back here.

Two wins last season were over 6f; well beaten at Galway on his only attempt at 7f; kept on for fourth place over 6f at Naas on seasonal debut (Nakamura, seventh); worth another shot at the extra furlong on that evidence.

Three AW runs at Dundalk over the winter; won well over 5f last time, and trainer never underestimated, but opening mark looks stiff.

Was still a bit weak physically when twice showing promise at Navan last year; odds-on for the second time when readily beating subsequent winner in AW maiden over 6f last month.

Did plenty of racing at two; winner of two 6f nurseries on easy ground and ran well to take fourth in the Birdcatcher at Naas; a bit high in the ratings since then; needs to step up on the form of a recent Cork run.

Made 125,000gns at the breeeze-ups; second to Chicago Pope here on debut, went one better at Navan with odds-on Ocean's Breath only fourth; big drifter in market when poor at Cork on comeback, but capable of much better; has only encountered easy ground thus far.

Tipperary maiden winner last season (5f, yielding); not far behind a few of these when fifth at Naas on penultimate (6f, good); held by stablemate Treasure Royal in 6f premier handicap back there on latest; drop to 5f and easier ground a plus; not discounted.

Won 2yo AW maiden (6f) on debut for this yard in December; stayed on well for a 2l fifth of 14 on handicap debut at Naas latest (6f, good) in first-time cheekpieces (retained); eased 1lb and will be doing best work at the finish dropped back to 5f.

Chamber Verdict

Balanced lens

Gavoo

Speculative

Gavoo owns one of the strongest chamber scores in this field. The Balanced lens likes the blend of SR strength (52) and market confidence (70). The profile stays composed even after the chamber introduces race-day variance.
