Gained a first win on turf over this C&D 18 days ago with a career best, rallying well under pressure and a 4lb rise looks workable; much better draw this time and has to be high on the shortlist.

Belatedly opened her account on the AW (1m2f) in March off 52; pick of three turf runs since when close second at Leopardstown last month (1m1f, good), didn't count in similar event last time; bad draw but still respected.
