Bought for 250,000euros after finishing second in an Auteuil hurdle in 2024; given subsequent absence, presumably something was amiss when a remote third on stable debut in early 2025 (went off odds-on); interesting to gauge the level of confidence behind her.

Dual-purpose; 1-29 on Flat; 0-6 over hurdles; her sole Flat win came over three years ago, but she had fair form in 2025, including when second in a 1m5f handicap at this venue; well clear of the remainder when chasing home an easy winner at Tramore on New Year's Day.
