Solid runs in two strong handicaps of late and returning to 1m looks a positive

C&D winner and didn't get any luck at all when only 3l away at Killarney

Below par last time but could pay her way in handicaps
2 (7)	Pier Pressure Bay J:Jack Kearney(5) T:G M Lyons	J:Jack Kearney(5) T:G M Lyons	141	—	2-0734	81	83	71	12d	—	—	+5	13.8	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Both wins over 7f at Dundalk but thereabouts in 1m turf handicaps the last twice

Sole win and best form has come on the AW; something to prove on the grass
6 (5)	Vassula Ryden Bay J:W J Lee T:W McCreery	J:W J Lee T:W McCreery	130	b	1-4990	78	84	57	16d	—	—	+10	15.4	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Won a Navan maiden in October but hasn't offered much this year; blinkers tried

1m5f perhaps too far last time but does seem hard to predict

Competitive mark but hasn't been firing on all cylinders since returning from a break
11 (2)	Charming Lady Bay J:James Ryan(5) T:T G McCourt	J:James Ryan(5) T:T G McCourt	125	—	0-0860	65	81	68	14d	—	—	+2	4.5	10.00/1	40/1 2%
Below her best form this year and stamina looks a big issue now tried over 1m
