Won for this rider over 1m at this venue in June, no impact in two subsequent outings; seems to have lost the consistency that was a feature of her form last season.

Last win came in a Navan handicap over 1m2f in October 2023 and remains 9lb higher; has run some competitive races in defeat since then and wouldn't be a bolt from the blue should she run well after a break.

Losing run since 2023 but holding her form well on AW lately; at her best when she gets a good pace to aim at, which looks likely here but form of her recent Dundalk third has taken a few knocks and may be vulnerable to better treated rivals.
