Will like the ground; won over 1m1f here last year and has dropped back to just 1lb higher mark; ground too soft first two starts this year; latest 6l Curragh defeat can be marked up somewhat (upset in stalls and met some interference) and generally runs this track well.

Dual winner over 1m1f but has placed form at this trip too; way below her best in two starts this year but this faster ground will suit and can give an improved effort.

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.
