Won a 1m maiden a year ago; uneven form on turf this year before a narrow C&D handicap win in October; not well treated at the weights in a Listed race here last month, so it was a surprise when she was sent off favourite; finished with only one behind her; should be much more at home down in grade here.

Form & Verdict
Best form has come over further and she was turned over when a short-priced favourite at the Curragh (7f heavy) in October; big player on peak form but wide draw isn't ideal and needs to prove she's as effective on AW.

Off the mark on first start for new yard when landing Bellewstown handicap over 1m early this month in first-time hood, racing prominently and getting up late for comfortable success; good chance of staying this longer trip on that evidence and although officially 2lb wrong here could well make a bold bid.
