Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 20/1, below form tenth of 19 in handicap at Navan (5f, good to soft) 24 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Likely she needed that and she can step up on that. Usual visor left off.

Forecasts

Mymomentintime (5/2), Realtin Fantasy (6/1), Inventor (15/2), Havana Notion (8/1), Nordic Passage (8/1), Not Too Real Bad (9/1), Maggie Thunder (12/1), Rathbranchurch (12/1), My Girl Sioux (16/1), Daintree (18/1), Hypernova (22/1), Aloysius Lilius (22/1), Coco Hill (25/1), Najat (40/1), Hilltop's Bear (50/1), Cuala Bula (66/1)

Verdict

MYMOMENTINTIME ran right up to his best when third at Naas in May and back from a short break, he could be the way to go. Rathbranchurch and Not Too Real Bad are viable threats, with Aloysius Lilius one to monitor in the betting starting out for a new yard.
