2-18; experienced filly was narrowly denied in a big field handicap at Leopardstown last time off 66 (7f, good); up 1lb to 67 for that 0.75l third but she won nurseries off 68 and 76 last October; those victories came on yielding-soft and heavy but she handles quicker ground and she should be on the premises.
