Won over C&D (good) on this card last year and gained third win of the year over C&D (good) in July off 69; tailed off at the Curragh on return; ground may be against her on this occasion.

Recorded back-to-back 5f wins at Down Royal and Bellewstown last summer but has been a little too high in the ratings since; back down to last winning mark now and won first time up last term so monitor the betting.
