Again failed to beat a rival when down the field in a maiden at Dundalk most recently. Hood is fitted for the first time, she is returning from a break, and although there is stamina in the pedigree, she has yet to show anything.
Yet to place in five starts. Well beaten at 300-1 behind Diego El Queso when last of 14 on her latest outing at Dundalk over 1m in October last year. She is wearing a hood for the first time.

Verdict
STARFIGHTER has won five times at this venue and just missed out when denied by only a head here a fortnight ago. The veteran may not have finished winning yet on that evidence, and can go one better with Billy Loughnane in the plate once again. Nakatomi showed some improvement in first-time blinkers last time and could finish thereabouts, while Spaceage Love Song placed in similar company at Chelmsford last month.
Expert View Verdict
The veteran STARFIGHTER looks to hold a strong chance in this following his recent return to form when runner-up in a C&D classified two weeks ago. A reproduction of that can see him return to winning ways, with his last four victories having come over this C&D. Spaceage Love Song has been running with credit at this level over shorter but might be worth a step back up in trip. He's still a maiden but has a small race in him. Arranmore is third on the list, having won one of these back in August, but has a bit to find with the selection.
