Form & Verdict
Plenty of experience, notably touched off in three-way photo to Tipperary Listed (5f, yielding-to-soft) and in Curragh maiden last month when chasing home an impressive winner (third in Group 3 since); should have a maiden in her and the one to beat on all known form with a light weight.
