Struggled for John O'Shea last season; promising stable debut after a ten-month absence but she failed to build on it over C&D (firm) two weeks ago, hampered at a crucial stage; on a good mark and she would benefit from the leaders going hard as she's likely to miss the break and be dropped in from a wide draw.
