Form & Verdict
Shaped well on yard debut before easy win off 54 over C&D in October; first past the post from 12lb higher mark next time but badly hampered Buddy Batt and was placed second; went up another 3lb but won going away over C&D last month (Dontspoilasale fourth; form boosted); will be hard to beat despite another 8lb hike.

Prospered after joining this yard, three wins over 5f from six starts at Dundalk; progress stalled when tried over 6f in February and finished last of ten, too bad to be true; much more like it when returning from a break to finish fourth over 5f at the Curragh last month.

Thrived since joining this yard, three wins over 5f from six starts at Dundalk; progress stalled upped to 6f last time when last of ten; that run was too bad to be true and given a break since but she's up 29lb since her first win and needs to prove herself on turf now.

Four-time winner here at 6f-7f, including when readily seeing off 13 rivals over 7f three weeks ago off 70; now 9lb higher but can't be discounted and won over this trip at the Curragh in August.

Yet to add to his 6f 2yo win on AW in Britain for Brian Meehan; three recent runs here for current yard have been promising, including when sent off favourite for 7f handicap nine days ago, but this trip looks too short.
