Form & Verdict

Useful Flat handicapper was gaining third win in that discipline when scoring at Ballinrobe six days ago, making most under 10lb claimer and just holding on; relatively unexposed over hurdles, winning Tramore maiden last summer but didn't get home after getting worked up on handicap debut; in good heart and could play a big role here on favoured ground.

Form & Verdict

Sole win came in 2m3f handicap here a year ago (yielding) off 102; comeback run here last month (behind a stablemate) was encouraging enough but took a backward step at Punchestown; remains of interest given her record here.

Cork maiden win came on debut three years ago; best effort in handicaps came this time last year when third at Ballinrobe; recent Cork comeback Flat effort was good considering soft ground wasn't ideal; back on favoured ground and could go well.
