Improved to finish a close third to today's rival La La Lucrative at Roscommon in June and might just have been in front long enough when collared on the post by Phoenix Pairc over the same C&D three weeks ago; just 1lb higher now and good chance that she can improve enough to prevail here; cheekpieces left off today.
