Placed in two points and won a bumper in 2022; absent since mid-division in Grade 3 mares' bumper at Punchestown in April 2023; it remains to be seen how much ability she retains but she's travelled from Ireland to make her comeback and it's a weak race; the betting may be informative.

Bought for 55,000euros after winning a 1m4f French bumper in May (very soft); penalised accordingly at Doncaster but that was still underwhelming in finishing about 12l off Merely A Detail; today's slower surface could assist and Gavin Sheehan presumably could have ridden stablemate Lady Tadita, as was the case on that one's debut.

Had two subsequent winners behind when justifying favouritism at Galway on debut in August (2m1f, good) and solid runs in defeat in three outings since without really progressing, most recently making most when third to Belladaball (Wonderful Everyday second) in Fairyhouse mares' Listed contest early this month; looking exposed and hard to see her reversing that form on same terms.

Had two subsequent winners behind when justifying favouritism at Galway on debut in August (2m1f, good); stiffer task since in Listed mares' events on much softer ground, decent third at Gowran and front-running third to a warm favourite at Navan (second narrowly beaten in Grade 2 afterwards), racing a bit keen; entitled to be thereabouts, especially if settling better.
