Two Dundalk runs last November/December were much better than previous turf efforts on soft ground; faded in the final furlong on handicap debut in a 1m contest at the Curragh a month ago; this shorter trip might suit her better.

Two Dundalk runs were much better than previous turf efforts; should be more mature now but others have stronger claims.

Form & Verdict
Not beaten far when third of 13 in a Naas maiden (6f, good) last August; two maiden runs this year below that level; a doubt about her official rating of 75 was raised by her handicap debut at the Curragh, when last of 12; on the plus side, the stable has had two recent winners.

0-6 and rated 74; some solid efforts in defeat, including a 0.5l third of 13 in a Naas maiden last August (6f, good); shaped like worth another go at 1m when a keeping on second in a 7f claimer at Roscommon latest; player.

Best effort last season a 0.5l third of 13 in a Naas maiden (6f, good) in August; two runs this season below that level and her opening mark doesn't look overly lenient; tongue-tie and cheekpieces replace the visor worn last time.

Weak form last season and never involved first two handicap starts over 5f; career-best when third in Roscommon maiden claimer (7.5f, good to yielding) 11 days ago but will need to pull out more back in a handicap.
