From a yard that's won two of the last five renewals of this; it was a useful maiden she won easily at Cork (2m4f, yielding) and she followed up in a 2m3f Listed event at Punchestown despite not being in love with the heavy ground (according to her trainer); the runner-up Switch From Diesel gave Bambino Fever something to think about in two bumpers last season, so that latest form heightens interest in this mare; the stable's winner 12 months ago was also dropping back in distance and returning from a similar break; very much one to bear in mind.
