Third to Bella Colombia here over 1m1f before winning on her return visit (1m; first time in this headgear combination); 2lb lower now having struggled since, though deep ground was a feasible excuse last time.

Returned to form when strong-finishing third of 22 at Leopardstown (1m1f) before scoring at the same venue next time (1m); well below her best there on her latest start and she has no form in the mud; may struggle.

Form & Verdict
AW winner in France at two and fair form first half of this season on softish ground; bought for 28,000euros in July and yard debut at Leopardstown last month (strong-finishing 1.5l off Tachos) was promising; improvement likely with McMonagle now aboard.

French AW winner; promise on debut for this yard at Leopardstown but blood in both nostrils when a beaten favourite for her next run at Navan; back on track after a break at Dundalk (7f) last month when a 1l third; chance off the same mark if backs that up.
