AW maiden winner; best runs this term when placed over this trip at both the Curragh and Limerick; increasingly slow starts hampering her prospects, never recovering at Roscommon latest; worth treating with degree of caution.

Only two wins from 33 starts; has occasionally run well in good company, notably when second in a premier handicap at last year's Irish Champions meeting at Leopardstown; down the field in the same race this season; now 19lb below her career-high mark, might not be a lost cause.

Has a poor strike rate (2-26); however, worth recalling that she finished second (behind Pink Oxalis) when a 40-1 chance in this race 12 months ago; fair form this season; yard emerging from a quiet spell; lively outsider potentially.

First reserve; won off 7lb higher at Dundalk (7f) in January, his eighth AW win; is 3lb lower than when winning this race last year and didn't run too badly over 1m at Navan on latest; could be a danger to all if getting a run.
