Four-time AW winner is 1-13 on turf; pleasing effort when a 2l fifth of 14 at Down Royal (7f, good) in May when not getting the clearest of runs and same mark now; this a tougher race, though, so more needed.

In-form filly arrives in search of a hat-trick after knuckling down to win claimers at Bellewstown (1m, good) and Killarney (1m, good); this longer trip is a query, but should be on the premises again if she stays (stamina in pedigree but ran poorly over 10.5f before).
