Last win came in a Navan handicap over 1m2f in October 2023 and remains 9lb higher; has run some competitive races in defeat since then and wouldn't be a bolt from the blue should she run well after a break. |

Losing run since 2023 but holding her form well on AW lately; at her best when she gets a good pace to aim at, which looks likely here but form of her recent Dundalk third has taken a few knocks and may be vulnerable to better treated rivals. |

Got off the mark on her stable debut over this trip at Limerick in June; quicker ground and slightly shorter trip did not really play to her strengths at Tipperary since; hold-up filly will need some luck in running from this inside draw but could go close if getting some. |

Nine wins in all, but only one on turf from 32 starts; led when third over 7f at Fairyhouse last week, and that's probably his optimum trip on turf, rather than the stiff mile here; unplaced all four runs here, too. |
