Won the 3yo handicap on this card last year off 62; 1lb lower now and should strip fitter for her comeback run at the Curragh when sporting blinkers (removed); draw not perfect but dangerous to dismiss (course form figures at 7f read 221); considered.

Went close in maidens as a two-year-old and came on from his reappearance with Killarney maiden success in May; hit the frame despite having to race wide around the turn at the Curragh since in a valuable handicap and looks like a big player from the same mark.
