Reserve; dual Flat winner, though was last in that discipline 17 days ago; tailed off the time before over hurdles but a repeat of her third at Ballinrobe would see her competitive.

Showed promise in June on her two starts (6f/7f, good to firm) and, while she was beaten about 8l when third of six at Doncaster last time, the winner is exciting (has followed up); could have a part to play.
