Form & Verdict
1m1f winner on turf; bang there in her last two races at this track, her strong finish taking her mighty close over the extended 1m2f last time; that was in December but clear claims if in the same form after a break; gives the impression that she'll stay.

Won this last year off 3lb lower; in good form on AW earlier this year but underwhelming return to turf when beaten 7l at Sligo (10.5f, yld-sft) on latest; return to 1m4f a plus and Colin Keane takes over; should go well.

Down the field in two maidens here but improved to win a 1m4f handicap at Roscommon and placed at the Curragh since then; throws in the odd howler (as last time) but dangerous to dismiss.

Form figures of 1221 in C&D handicaps since returning from a break; good value for narrow winning margin the last time (under Nicola Burns) so a 5lb rise should be manageable; this does look a better race, though.
