Excellent overall record in a busy campaign since joining Ado McGuinness in November, winning four of her 11 starts, three times at this trip; didn't land a blow here a week ago from wide draw in handicap but has to be respected back in claiming company.

Five-time winner in Ireland (5f/6f) but 0-4 for this yard; never featured following a slow start at Lingfield (7f, AW) last month, but he's down to a career-low mark and is one to keep an eye on in the betting now dropping class.
