She'll find it hard to beat a peak-form Panic Attack and she was pulled up in the Irish National 16 days ago; however, she was running well in January, in a Grade 2 mares' chase at Fairyhouse (2m6f, yielding) and the Thyestes Handicap at Gowran Park (3m1f, heavy; albeit no match for the first two); no surprise if she bounces back with a good performance today.
