Form & Verdict

Won back-to-back from much lower marks last season; yet to get her head in front this term and her mark suffered after a narrow defeat at Listed level earlier in the campaign but has remained competitive enough and showed this sort of mark is workable when runner-up at Cork last month; fast ground is fine and should be competitive again.
