Won this race last year off 4lb lower mark (soft) in first-time blinkers and good comeback run early this term in Galway Blazers; seen just twice since, well held here in November and 3m looked beyond her at Leopardstown over Christmas; doesn't come here in the same form as last year and cheekpieces now replace blinkers.
