Maiden has run well in defeat a number of times, including at Galway last time over an extended mile; blinkers worn then are retained and the slight drop in trip is a help, so should go close off 2lb higher.

Ran well twice in defeat after a maiden win at the Curragh (worked out well) in March; out of her depth last time in a Group 3 but still ran poorly; this is more suitable and will be involved if at her best.
