In the form of her life this summer, with wins over C&D, at Down Royal and at Galway; fine run after aggregate 21lb rise when good third in C&D mares handicap in August, from franked since by both the winner and second; remains very much of interest. |

Back to form when recording a tenth win under rules' at Dundalk last month (7f); 6f perhaps a bit sharp back at Dundalk last time and was hampered turning in; she was a C&D winner last June off 5lb higher, so a few things in her favour back on turf. |

Did well to win at York (good to firm) off just 1lb lower in August but only fourth of five in the Great Metropolitan at Epsom (also 1m4f, good, Topteam behind) 17 days ago; that was a shade underwhelming given he'd won the race in 2025 but was a little weak in the market so maybe better can be expected this time. |
