Form & Verdict
In fine form last term, winning over 1m4f at both here and Gowran; handicapper has had her measure since however, never counting over C&D last month; just 1lb above last winning mark now so can't be ruled out.

Won this last year off 3lb lower; in good form on AW earlier this year but underwhelming return to turf when beaten 7l at Sligo (10.5f, yld-sft) on latest; return to 1m4f a plus and Colin Keane takes over; should go well.

Seven Flat wins include over C&D, and more recently on the AW in December; trip inadequate on seasonal return here in April and has since been pulled up over hurdles; champion jockey booked but veteran appears vulnerable.

Form & Verdict
Mixing codes since last summer, winning over hurdles (Down Royal) before 1m4f maiden win here in November; back over 1m4f here earlier in month when favourite in handicap but left with plenty to do when close third (Trishuli River 2.5l away fifth); 2lb rise okay, not sure this drop in trip will suit and more positive tactics required.
