Progressive last season; two wins from five starts including a Listed contest at Leopardstown (1m6f, good) by 4.25l; signed off with a very respectable 3.75l fifth in the Group 2 Park Hill at Doncaster (14.5f, gd-sft); carries a penalty but big chance if ready after 236 days off.

Five races, improving every time; unraced on softer than good to yielding; won maiden at Limerick (11.3f) in July and Listed race at Leopardstown (upped to 1m6f) three weeks ago; in the latter she was ridden patiently (leader went too fast) and swooped to challenge 2f out, finishing well on top; this is a stiffer task but it's hard to say just how good she might become.

Off the mark in 1m4f Limerick maiden last month but unable to concede lumps of weight to Happy Pharoah in C&D rated contest since (hung left run-in); 13lb better off with that rival here so every chance of reversing the form.

Has improved with each start and got off the mark in a Limerick maiden over just short of 1m4f last time on fast ground; unraced on ground this soft though her sire did handle if well; this trip should be fine too so respected.

J: Seamie Heffernan

T: J P Murtagh

Promise on debut at Dundalk over 1m2.5f and improved on that raised to 1m4f when third at Fairyhouse last month against colts; this slightly shorter trip probably isn't ideal but she looks a major player.
