6/1
9/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this course (7f, soft) 20 days ago by 3½ lengths from Sluice, kept up to work. Raised 10 lb but she's now 2-2 in handicaps and another bold should could be on the way.

Lightly-raced winner. 9/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Naas (8f, soft) 27 days ago. Probably in the handicapper's grip for now.

Thrice-raced winner. 3¾ lengths fifth of 7 to Wendla in Cornelscourt Stakes (33/1) at Leopardstown (8f, good to firm) 14 days ago, better placed than most. Improvement needed on this handicap debut.

9/2
Thrice-raced maiden. 10/3, 2½ lengths fourth of 5 to Sea The Boss in Blue Wind Stakes at Naas (10.4f, good) 15 days ago. Back down in trip and she can be expected to take a step forward now pitched into a handicap.

13/2
Lightly-raced winner. 10/3, good 3½ lengths second of 10 to Asian Daze in handicap at this course (7f, soft) 20 days ago. Now 10 lb better off with the winner, so she can be expected to finish closer this time.

6/1
Promising individual. Second of 5 in minor event at Gowran (7f, heavy, 10/3) 33 days ago. The winner subsequently performed well in listed company and, with improvement likely back up to a mile for this handicap debut, she's a must for the shortlist.

100/1, 13¼ lengths twelfth of 13 to Cherry Blossom in listed race at Cork (5.5f, good) 16 days ago. Significantly up in trip and chances are she'll come up short once again.

Twice-raced winner. Won 18-runner maiden (10/1) at this course (7f, heavy) 36 days ago. More needed now switched to handicap company but she's anything but exposed.

Thrice-raced maiden. 5/4, third of 8 in maiden at Cork (10.2f, good) 16 days ago. Down in trip for this handicap debut and her best days are almost certainly still ahead of her.

Forecasts

Flight Of Fancy (9/2), Evening Blossom (5/1), Asian Daze (6/1), Shelaka (6/1), Sluice (13/2), Zaynab (17/2), September Leaves (10/1), Snellen (11/1), Cheeky Wink (12/1), Profit Refused (22/1), Lia Fail (66/1)

14:00 Curragh - 26 May 2024 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

The pick of several promising fillies is SHELAKA, who shaped well when chasing home a useful type on her reappearance at Gowran and the return to this trip/switch to handicap company can help unlock improvement. Conversely, Flight of Fancy drops back in trip after contesting a 10.4f listed race at Naas and she is second choice off what looks a fair opening mark. Evening Blossom also merits respect, along with Asian Daze and Sluice, who were the first two home in a handicap here 20 days ago.
