Form & Verdict
Bumper winner has been second to useful types three times in maidens; mark was raised 4lb to 109 after Naas second last month and winner boosted that form since; too keen against geldings in valuable auction contest at Punchestown but probably ran as well as she was entitled to; back in trip and against fellow mares, she's a leading contender.
