It's been a struggle since beating a very good yardstick at Cork in May (5f, good); has dropped back to a tempting mark and new headgear could give her a lift.

Fully exposed 5yo but he recorded the best RPR of his 50-race career when winning at Dundalk last month (6f); while effective on turf, he looks high enough in the weights now returning to grass; well drawn but others appeal more for win purposes.
