Verdict

TENACIOUS took a step forward when third at Gowran on Tuesday, her first handicap start on turf, and with cheekpieces added she can build on that effort to get off the mark. Survivor's Code could still have more to offer for her current yard and is feared most, ahead of Balance of Trade.

4	Back up to 1m, showed improved form when third of 14 in handicap at Gowran 3 days ago, despite failing to keep straight under pressure. Could benefit from application of cheekpieces, so she's interesting over this longer distance. 1st Pick 4 Tenacious (Ire) Jockey: Shane Foley Trainer: Mrs J.

9	Making only second start for current yard, opened account in 7f handicap at Gowran in April. Below form back in cheekpieces over the same C&D 16 days ago, but she's worth another try at this trip (stamina on dam's side of pedigree) with blinkers now applied. 2nd Pick 9 Survivor's Code (Ire) Jockey: Nicola Burns Trainer: Conor David Maxwell, Ireland J: Nicola Burns T: Conor David Maxwell, Ireland	97	-	-	-	12%

11	Remains a maiden but met trouble in running when fourth of 9 in claimer at Gowran in April. After only 3 days off, shaped as if a return to further would suit when third of 13 in handicap at Bellewstown (1m) on latest outing. Could be in the mix. 3rd Pick 11 Balance Of Trade (Ire) Jockey: Wesley Joyce Trainer: Michael Mulvany, Ireland J: Wesley Joyce T: Michael Mulvany, Ireland	92	-	-	-	15%
