Won Cork maiden (5f, good) last month on second start and again had something in hand when following up under big weight in conditions race at Tipperary (5f, yielding to soft); changed hands since (remains in same yard); trainer is enjoying an excellent year and this is a leading form contender.

Excellent run on debut behind Lady Iman, True Love and Power Blue in 5f listed race at this venue (good) but has proven expensive to follow in three runs since; disappointing run when last seen in a 5f maiden at Dundalk in January (hampered at start) and a bit to prove now.

Sister to 2yo Group 3 winner Castle Star; excellent fourth on debut in a Listed race in which the subsequent Molecomb winner Lady Iman beat subsequent Group 1 winners True Love and Power Blue; failed to build on that in two Tipperary appearances; now dropped to maiden company, will be hard to beat if adapting to this surface.

Sister to 2yo Group 3 winner Castle Star; ran a fine race on debut in a Listed race in which Lady Iman, winner of three races before last Saturday's Group 2 loss at the Curragh, beat the subsequent Queen Mary winner True Love; a shade disappointing over C&D on second start, though weighted to uphold form with Gelato.
