Form & Verdict
Placed just twice from her first 16 starts but has improved, winning twice under this rider including by 3l over 7f at Gowran last month; the runner-up bolted up over 1m at same track six days ago, when this filly found herself too far back after a tardy start, keeping on late; should come home well if not too free down the hill here.

Keeping herself busy; came home strongly under Orla Tynan to win at Roscommon (7.5f, good) but went up 10lb for that and was only midfield at the Curragh, albeit over 6.5f that was probably too sharp; others might be better in.

Improver this year, all three wins under this rider, most recently over extended 7f at Roscommon last month, coming home strongly after being switched to the outer in straight; hit with a 10lb rise for that however and upped in grade now; not sure the drop in trip will suit.
