Won off 13lb higher at the Curragh in 2024 and went close off 45 at Naas last summer; lacks a recent run but not one to rule out.

Won off 11lb higher at the Curragh a year ago; solid second at Naas in August but beaten favourite twice since; blinkers go on now; possibilities if they perk her up and she takes to this surface.
