Veteran 4-time chase winner; ran with credit over timber at Sligo in July but lacklustre efforts twice, including back over fences last month; still above highest winning mark and easy to look elsewhere.

Form & Verdict
One of the few runners coming into this in form; has improved on her last two starts, fifth at Killarney (2m1f, yielding) and then beaten just 1.5l into second at Tramore on latest last month; up 2lb and she holds leading claims in this company.

Maiden runs not without merit; looked in need of further when keeping on for sixth on handicap debut in a 2m1f contest at Cork in June; hard to be confident after a poor run at Killarney a month ago, but early days still and might be transformed by a hood.
