Improved form when apprentice-ridden in two handicap runs in quick succession last month; excellent run when out of the handicap at Leopardstown prompted a sharp rise in the ratings, but again ran well when fourth at Galway; went back into maiden company here last week, finishing up a close-up third behind two Joseph O'Brien-trained runners. |

C&D winner had Asisaid 1.75l behind when landing a Roscommon handicap on latest (7.5f, soft); up 8lb for that win to 64 but was third in this race last October off 65 so she can be competitive again if in the same form; should go well. |
