Fired a warning sign when fourth at Leopardstown and took another step in the right direction when chasing home Cafe Con Leche at Limerick; seems to save her best for the latter but no real reason why she can't produce a big performance here on her course debut.

Had a charmed spell for new yard earlier, five wins including one over C&D (good; also acts on soft); has run up to form only once in his last four starts though, following a revival at Fakenham last month with a tailed-off run at Windsor, and is still 6lb higher than the latest win.

Form & Verdict

Had the run of the race when third at Gowran but the penny seems to be dropping and if he can turn the screw another bit, he should go well, although trip perhaps a little on the sharp side; testing ground would bring his stamina reserves into play and would be a likely bonus.
