Eight-time winner on turf including once over C&D; sole success last season in Tipperary rated race (5f, good) when he had Eclairage 1.25l behind in third and weighted to uphold that form; runner up in this last year on seasonal return off 3lb higher; can't discount.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark for new yard at Naas in May but form has dipped since and she didn't beat many home at the Curragh on Sunday; reacted well to first time headgear in her Naas win in May so switch to blinkers may spark a revival.
