Off the mark on seasonal return over C&D in late May (good) but poor runs since in premier handicap here and when didn't appear to handle fast ground at Gowran in August; down in grade so don't rule out. |

Off the mark on seasonal return in a Curragh handicap (1m, good), making all in dominant fashion; hit hard for that with a 10lb rise and came up short in a premier handicap back at the Curragh latest (1m, good, 9-2); that run looked too bad to be true and was found to be coughing post-race; drops in trip but she's interesting if rebounding. |

Three wins this year, two on turf at 7f and on the AW over 1m; most recent win came at the Curragh in June off 2lb lower; held twice since, including when beaten 9.25l after a sluggish start at Roscommon on latest; needs more off this mark. |

Made it second-time lucky for her current yard when dead-heating off a reduced mark at Brighton last month; remains well treated on old form but she's hard to predict and was disappointing at Chepstow three weeks ago; has bit to prove again after that heavy defeat and both wins have been at 1m2f. |

Has done well in two starts since joining this yard, dead-heating at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) a week ago; clearly in good form just now, but has a 5lb penalty to carry and softening ground will pose a question. |
