Two of her five Flat wins have come at this track; won a Tipperary maiden hurdle last year and not a bad Downpatrick handicap run last month; decent Sligo Flat run since; needs more on these terms.

Form & Verdict
Maiden winner on her second start last year at Navan (5.5f, yielding to soft); coming to the boil after a few below-par efforts this season; not beaten far off much-reduced mark the last twice, including over this C&D; would prefer softer conditions and she should go well.

Twice a winner last season; mixed bag this term, standout effort when coming from way back to finish third to Kashel Spring (Its All Peachy second) at Punchestown last month; six days later didn't count on heavy ground at Listowel (1m); has to be considered back on better ground, with this longer trip likely to suit.

Improving mare seeking to complete a hat-trick, following a Killarney success when overcoming 7lb rise in 1m1f contest here a fortnight ago, having to wait for an opening and getting first run on runner-up when holding on by a head (pair clear); another 8lb rise to overcome but thriving.

Both wins have been on the AW, including in March off 59; close third from a bad draw at Dundalk on Sunday, having 11 days earlier chased home Pete's Dream at Fairyhouse over this trip; has her chance again and good draw plus 5lb claimer booked.

Form & Verdict
Has a win and two seconds on the AW but is 0-2 on turf; her first effort on grass came on testing ground at the Curragh off 74 in April and she ran a solid race to finish 2l fifth of 21; below-par over the same C&D in early May and not seen since; down 3lb and would have a chance if fit after her absence.
