Latest win at Musselburgh in June. Below form seventh of 18 in handicap at this C&D (soft, 25/1) 21 days ago. Needs to do more.

150/1, first run since leaving A. & G. Botti when 7 lengths ninth of 10 to Power Under Me in listed race at Cork (6f, good to soft). Off 105 days. Makes handicap debut. Something to find on form.

6/5 and visored for 1st time, career best when winning 15-runner maiden at Bellewstown (5f, good to soft) 16 days ago, readily. Going the right way and appears to have been handed a fair opening mark.

Career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Bellewstown (5f, good to soft, 8/1) 16 days ago, readily. Obvious claims if she arrives in the same mood.

33/1
20/1, career best when winning 17-runner maiden at Tipperary (5f, good to firm) 47 days ago, cosily. Had a bit to spare but, given her overall profile, she's not an obvious sort for the follow up.

17:00 Curragh - 17 July 2022 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

This race lacks depth and the lightly-raced ARE WE DREAMING gets the nod following a cosy first success in a maiden at Bellewstown 16 days ago. Mass Gathering, another last-time-out winner, looks a danger and Tiny Bit shouldn't be dismissed.
