Two wins in claimers on turf in May 2024; out of form at Dundalk until winning an apprentice handicap there at the beginning of last month; broke slowly at Leopardstown but finished to good effect, beaten under 3l in a 23-runner field; definite chance. |

Four Flat wins divided between turf and the AW; couldn't get going in time when a beaten favourite in latest AW claimer over 7f and returning to further should help; considered. |

Her three wins have all come over C&D, including this race last year off 70 (heavy); timely return to form at the Curragh last month when 1m2f proved just beyond her; down to a handy mark and major chance of a repeat win in the race. |
