Didn't make her debut until April and second time out beat the subsequent Coronation Stakes winner Cercene in a Group 3; has come up short in Group 1s won by Cinderella's Dream and Fallen Angel in her last three races, though she got closer to the Burke filly at Leopardstown when emerging from well of the pace in a first-time tongue-tie; that good to yielding ground was the slowest she's faced but wouldn't be exposed just yet.

Unraced at two; came up short in the Irish 1,000 Guineas most recently, losing her unbeaten record (2-2 previously) and failing to confirm Group 3 placings with Cercene who has admittedly franked the form by landing the Coronation Stakes since; bottom on ratings in this field.
