Form & Verdict
Gowran winner denied a clear shot at it when sixth at Curragh on penultimate start; only lost third spot close home at Roscommon in the interim and off an unchanged mark here, this lightly-raced 5yo looks a threat to all concerned.

Interesting first runner for a new trainer combo, although she was already based with Darren Bunyan so not as if they need to learn anything about this recent Gowran winner; has handled a cut in the ground in the past, but her hike in the ratings for her recent win more of a concern.

Won a 1m maiden a year ago; uneven form on turf this year before a narrow C&D handicap win in October; not well treated at the weights in a Listed race here last month, so it was a surprise when she was sent off favourite; finished with only one behind her; should be much more at home down in grade here.
