Found just the progressive Meriden too good in a 7f Curragh premier handicap on her latest start in June; another solid run over 1m there on latest; worth another go over this shorter trip and is just 2lb higher than when winning this race last season (run at Tipperary); claims.

Three wins last season, including handicaps at Leopardstown (1m, good to firm) and Tipperary (7.5f, good); out of her depth in a Group 3 on seasonal debut; below form on soft at Leopardstown; much more like it on quick going over 7f here last time, chasing home one of the stars of the season, Meriden, who has won a Listed race to complete a five-timer; strong chance.
