Flat wins have been at about 1m2f and on good and yielding ground; not as good as she was and conditions are a concern.

Two-time Flat winner; out of form in that sphere the last twice and held by Arctic Flame on the form of her 22l sixth on her hurdling debut at Clonmel in May; others appeal more.

Low-key effort behind a few of these at Leopardstown earlier this month but return to quicker ground may help and she's back on her last winning mark (also went close off 77 in Clonmel handicap in September); Neve Bennett who claims 7lb has ridden her fair share of winners; could go well.

In great form earlier this season notching up back-to-back handicap wins at Cork off 75 and Gowran Park off 82; not disgraced in a Cork Group 3 (1m4f, good) on her penultimate start but well-beaten in a Listed heat at Gowran Park on latest; probably up against it in this company.
