Highly tried after winning debut (5f, soft) in Curragh maiden last March, well held in Group 3's at Naas and Curragh; last month's return to action here (behind Dawn Flame) didn't offer much and takes another step up in trip.

In good form this season since joining this yard; started the campaign with a Naas handicap win off 72 (5f, soft) and now rated 101; beaten a head by Havana Anna in Naas Group 3 on penultimate; jockey reported she stopped quickly when last at Cork latest; capable of better but risky after that.

Won her maiden over C&D on good ground last year for Jack Davison; an improved performer this season, winning twice (including back here) and outrunning her odds of 50-1 in a 6f Group 3 at Naas four weeks ago; races prominently and could prove tough to reel in back at 5f, for all that she's in against her elders this time.

Progressive filly followed up 6f Fairyhouse maiden win with defeat of First Approach and Fresh Fade in 5f Listed Tipperary Stakes, making all; didn't quite get home when beaten 3.5l in Group Princess Margaret Stakes at Ascot on latest; possibly better than she showed at Ascot but stiff 6f here could find her out.
