Irish raider; two wins, both at Down Royal in a lower grade, and she had been running well prior to her midfield finish at the Curragh 18 days ago, a race in which she saw no daylight from some way out; big run on the cards.

Mostly campaigned (without success) in Listed company since winning off 77 at Chepstow (5f, gd-sft) last August; remains 10lb above that last success but a repeat of her 3l Cork fourth on penultimate would give her a squeak back in handicap company and she'll be suited by a strongly run race.
