In the form of her life this summer, with wins over C&D, at Down Royal and at Galway; fine run after aggregate 21lb rise when good third in C&D mares handicap in August, from franked since by both the winner and second; remains very much of interest. |

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. |

Three-time turf winner and often placed but 0-22 on AW and placed only three times; hard to make a strong case on recent AW form; however, he is so much more effective on turf that a good showing is not out of the question. |
