Pipped in this (later awarded race) on soft a year ago; comes here at the top of her game and got her head in front for the first time when winning decisively off 45 at Naas; ran perfectly well off this mark at Navan since.

One of two for red-hot yard; bolted up off basement mark at Naas (5f, good) 13 days ago but handicapper took a dim view and hit her with a 10lb rise; softer ground fine and could be more to come from this 4yo so can't discount.

Inconsistent gelding who's been around a bit and twice been tried over 7f this year (win in the summer came from the front over 6f); made an ordinary debut for this yard recently and will need plenty to fall right from an outside stall.
