In great form last month winning a handicap chase at Killarney (2m7f good) and a couple of handicap hurdles at Kilbeggan (2m3f) and Ballinrobe (2m6f); now 12lb higher than she was for her Killarney win so needs a career-best to complete the four-timer but that is not impossible in her current form; rain would be a negative.
