Six-time winner, most recently at last year's Galway festival over 7f; recent C&D third offers encouragement after a sequence of runs that saw her handicap mark reduced; first reserve. |

Record of 0-20 on the Flat but has shown flashes of potential, including when runner-up at Gowran (7f, yielding) from 2lb higher in April and third at Tipperary (1m1f, soft) in May; needed the run at Punchestown last month and might figure. |

One of his three wins came over C&D and has often run well in defeat here, too; second to well-treated types at Galway and Dundalk in later months of last year; well supported into 10-3 when third to Kitty Bear at Gowran last month. |
