Completed a summer hat-trick in this last year, which was her second C&D win; mid-field run at Leopardstown, after a break, rendered her eligible for repeat bid.

Back-to-back 6f wins on good (including here) in July but handles an ease; 1l behind Amiata over 6f here on penultimate and 5lb better off now; was on the wrong side of the track over C&D three days ago so that run can be marked up; this is a stronger race, however, and 2lb wrong but has a place shout.

Maiden started the season with three respectable runs over 1m4f; form has dipped the last twice, tailed off when upped to 2m at Tramore on latest; headgear worn that day is discarded; needs to revive.
