Won an easy ground maiden at Sligo (5.5f) back in May; decent effort next start in median auction race at Fairyhouse (6f, good); struggled in first two handicaps off 84 and 79 and is now down to 77; drop back to 7f is a plus but may be seen to better effect when back on softer ground.

Two wins last year, including over 1m at this venue; two moderate runs this term, including in a Sligo race in which Chico Guerrera was second, before returning to form with a winning display at Roscommon a fortnight ago; made all over the extended 7f then, this trip is within her range; 5lb extra does not seem harsh.
