Left her handicap debut behind at Killarney when signing off last season with a narrow defeat at the Curragh over a similar trip; that form worked out okay and she ought to go well if fit enough on her return.

Hard to fault in her last four races (1m2f/1m4f) and beat all bar a sharp improver last time at Doncaster (good; fine on yielding); mark is edging north but has to be considered.

Made up plenty of ground to lead close home at Galway festival (1m4f, yielding; same race she won the year before) on penultimate start but was herself pipped by a fast finisher; won starts either side, latest by a head off the same mark at Sligo (10.5f) four days later; this is a very different track but she has to be considered with her mark virtually unchanged.

Won narrowly at Roscommon in June and went very close to repeating last year's success in a 1m4f Galway handicap; due to go up 3lb for finishing a neck second; holds an obvious chance, providing this does not come too soon; last year's second in this event came after the same four-day interval.
