Form & Verdict
Two wins last year, including over 1m at this venue; two moderate runs this term, including in a Sligo race in which Chico Guerrera was second, before returning to form with a winning display at Roscommon a fortnight ago; made all over the extended 7f then, this trip is within her range; 5lb extra does not seem harsh.

Went up an aggregate 21lb for three handicap wins last season; seemed to be improving when second at Limerick in April, beaten only a nose; Curragh run eight days ago (17th of 19) was too bad to be true; 7-2 chance then, interesting to see if the market is prepared to overlook that showing.
