Off 8 months before posting a career best when winning 15-runner handicap chase at Tipperary (16.6f, good to soft) 33 days ago. Up 7 lb but she's a likely player.

15:30 Galway - 3 August 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

This could go the way of ARCTIC FLY who got back on the up after an absence when scoring at Tipperary and can make light of a 7 lb rise in the weights. Sea Music heads the list of dangers on the back of a good recent fifth here with Aspurofthemoment also firmly in the picture now going handicapping. Neveradullmoment, Drumgill and Aeros Luck all need factoring in too.
