Steady improver last year for the Halford/Collins team, winning handicaps at Dundalk and Curragh; career-best on return when runner-up in C&D Listed in April (good) but well below that form twice since, latest in Munster Oaks here; first-time cheekpieces need to bring improvement to figure.

Form & Verdict
Dual-purpose mare is 3-6 on the Flat and rated 99; came up short when tried in Listed company in 2022 and 2023 but soft ground wasn't ideal; fit from the jumps and it wouldn't be a surprise if she nicked some black type on ground she will enjoy for last year's winning yard.

Progressive in 2023 and well handicapped on best of that form; it's not been repeated and she finished last in her only two races (last August) on firmer than good; while there's renewed hope to be gained from the competitive displays on her last two outings, others look more potent as win prospects.

Smart handicap form in 2023 included C&D win in premier handicap; below par during a light campaign last year but much more encouraging effort on second start this term when forcing pace in 1m4f Cork handicap 10 days ago, rallying well when beaten a neck; less negatives than some of these regarding trip and ground so could be the one to follow Kyprios home.
