Sligo

She was narrowly beaten into second on her most recent outing at Navan, which is an encouraging note to return from after six months off — but that break is the key question mark here. Both her trainer and jockey are in strong form right now, each winning around 1 in 5 races over the past two weeks, which gives this comeback some credibility.

Like Baiana, she's returning from a lengthy break of roughly five months, and her best run — a close third at Navan — came right before that layoff. She's never raced on normal ground and has yet to win from three attempts, but the editorial verdict places her second in the pecking order behind the favourite, suggesting there's more to come.

Seven races without a win makes her the most experienced horse in the field, but that experience hasn't translated into results — she was beaten nearly five lengths in seventh at the Curragh just two weeks ago. Her official rating of 71 makes her the second highest-rated runner here, yet her recent form is heading in the wrong direction.

The most consistent horse in the field on paper — she's finished in the top three in all three of her races, including back-to-back second and third places at Dundalk. She's the highest-rated runner in the field and, unlike most of her rivals, has actual form to point to, though she's never raced on normal ground and is yet to convert those placings into a win.
