Won twice as a juvenile, including over 6f at this venue; won a 7f Fairyhouse handicap last year; well below that level on final two starts of the campaign; looked an awkward ride on her reappearance in a 7f premier handicap here last month; may simply have been ring-rusty; should improve from the run, and first-time cheekpieces may help.
Four wins last year, including this event; career best when landing a highly competitive fillies' handicap at Leopardstown in September; has run five times this season, only once showing her best form; two lesser displays since a creditable third placing at Gowran in April; 10lb higher than 12 months ago.
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.
Consistent in maidens and handicaps before breakthrough win in a 1m maiden at Gowran on her tenth start; got away with a 2lb rise but her chance was dismissed by punters when she ran in a 1m1f premier handicap here three weeks ago; 33-1 then, not disgraced in mid-division after meeting trouble in running; visor replaces cheekpieces worn then.
Failed to make an impact in three maidens at 7f/1m; no significant improvement when upped to 1m4f for her handicap debut at Limerick; a different story when tackling an extended 1m on better ground at Fairyhouse, travelled well and took command under two furlongs down to score easily; has turned a corner and can remain competitive despite a 12lb rise.
Rarely runs a bad race; won a maiden at Dundalk in March; not beaten far in a 7f handicap at this venue in May; second in a small-field conditions race at Leopardstown, before third behind the same winner in a Killarney handicap on Monday; first-time cheekpieces; 2lb wrong, but good 5lb claimer.
