Last of two wins came here over 1m1f last summer off 74; seasonal-best came over same C&D a fortnight ago when strong-finishing third (from a wide draw) of 22 to Bella Colombia (fourth has won since); nice turn around in weights with that rival here and cheekpieces added; should go well.

Has now slipped to 2lb below her last winning mark (which came over C&D) and her last run here over 1m was a step in the right direction; tough draw to overcome but not discounted.

Form & Verdict
AW winner in France at two and fair form first half of this season on softish ground; bought for 28,000euros in July and yard debut at Leopardstown last month (strong-finishing 1.5l off Tachos) was promising; improvement likely with McMonagle now aboard.

Decent strike rate of 5-22 (three wins here); back-to-back wins at Roscommon (7.5f, gd-yld) and here (9.5f, yld) in May-June; went up 10lb for those two victories but that wasn't the reason why she was pulled up at Down Royal on latest (lost action/scoped dirty); can only be watched after that.

Two wins last year, including over 1m at this venue; first two runs this term were moderate, including in a Sligo race in which Chico Guerrera was second; returning to form with a 7f win at Roscommon and backed that up over an extended 1m1f at Gowran with Chica Guerrera in third; can remain competitive despite an aggregate 10lb rise
