Her three wins have all come over C&D, including this race last year off 70 (heavy); timely return to form at the Curragh last month when 1m2f proved just beyond her; down to a handy mark and major chance of a repeat win in the race. |

Bagged back-to-back wins at Roscommon and Gowran in October last year on softer conditions; back to form at Gowran on heavy ground when reeled in late last time (1m, heavy); 4lb hike for last run seems harsh but cheekpieces on now and can go well. |

Now with his fifth different trainer; gained an overdue breakthrough at Dundalk on his 26th start; perhaps unlucky not to finish closer at Limerick last month on stable debut, since he almost lost his footing on the final bend; placed 11 times, capable of reaching the money in this grade. |
