Form & Verdict
Bounced back to form with a close third under a positive ride over 1m7f at Leopardstown last month; form of that race is questionable and she's 4lb out of the weights, but C&D winner last summer and her rider's claim helps; trainer returned to the winners' enclosure at Galway earlier this month.

Back to form with close third under a positive ride at Leopardstown (1m7f) in July; another good effort to secure second place when out of the handicap at Tramore (2m); folded tamely at Navan a fortnight ago but big drop in class and dangerous if allowed to dictate from the front.
