Form & Verdict
Has improved since switching to handicaps, beaten just 2l on handicap debut at Gowran in June and bounced back to something like her best when beaten under a length at Tipperary on Sunday (a head behind re-opposing Simple Endeavour); 1lb well in and should be in the mix again.

Off the mark at the 19th attempt at Ballinrobe (9.7f, good) in June and fair efforts the next twice (11.3f/9.7f, good/soft); went close over 1m2f at Ayr yesterday but there's a suspicion this trip may just stretch her.
