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.

Two wins apiece on turf and AW up to 1m4f; best turf effort this term when second at Gowran last month; not as good over 1m2f twice since; stepping back up to this trip will suit and cheekpieces added.

Gained a fourth win of her career at Dundalk (1m4f) in March; has won twice on turf and not beaten far at Gowran on penultimate (1m4f, yielding); nudged up 3lb for that and has never won off a mark this high; 1m2f may be on sharp side these days.

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.

Sole win on turf came at Fairyhouse in June 2024 (1m4f, good); latest of three AW wins came at Dundalk in November over 2m; two turf runs this term were poor and most recent Dundalk outing was not his best either.

Form & Verdict
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.
