Didn't make the cut for the amateur handicap over 2m1f at Galway where she ran well in 1m4f handicap at last year's festival; good comeback over 1m5f at Navan in April and missed 1m7f engagement last month due to quick ground; trainer obviously thinks she'll stay and chance under talented claimer if she can get her toe in.
