Gained third career win at Down Royal in June, bolting up; hit with a 14lb rise for that; struggled over 1m4f in a premier handicap at Galway; second in a five-runner contest at Sligo; seems best at around 1m2f; may lack the pace for a race like this.

Gained third career win on latest at Down Royal (10.5f, soft), bolting up by 6.5l; handicapper took a dim view, hiking her up 14lb; this longer trip is fine, as is quicker ground, but a big career best will be needed to follow up in this tougher race; drawn wide.

Loves it when the mud is flying, just as it was when she won off 9lb lower at Gowran in October (1m4f, heavy); has run respectably on all four starts on her favoured ground this term and has gone well here before but this ground will surely be too lively for her.
