J: Charlie Tucker

Won twice in Ireland, both wins gained this summer over a bit further; however, only seventh of nine on yard debut here (1m2f) and not overly appealing on the back of that.

Third runner for yard; won a claimer for Paul Flynn at Ballinrobe (9.5f, good to yielding) in July before following up on debut for this yard in Gowran handicap (9.5f, good to firm); two fair efforts since but she might get tapped for toe over this trip.

Ran respectably in a couple of handicaps earlier this season; several less encouraging displays before winning a claimer for Paul Flynn at Ballinrobe; won a 0-60 handicap here on debut for Ado McGuinness; longer trip may have stretched her stamina at Roscommon two weeks ago.

Form & Verdict
In-form filly arrives in search of a hat-trick after knuckling down to win claimers at Bellewstown (1m, good) and Killarney (1m, good); this longer trip is a query, but should be on the premises again if she stays (stamina in pedigree but ran poorly over 10.5f before).
