Some good form in stakes company last year and on third start this term won 1m4f Limerick Listed, improving markedly for the step up in trip; denied a clear run back at 1m2f on latest in Group 3 at the Curragh so certainly not one to rule out back at this trip.

Mare is 2-17 overall; without a win since landing a 2m4f listed race at Mulheim in September 2023 for Peter Schiergen; outran odds of 50-1 on second start for this stable when a 0.5l second in the Group 3 Stanerra Stakes at Fairyhouse (1m6f, good) on latest; a repeat of that would give her a place shout.

Sole win (ten races) was a 2023 maiden; twice second to star stayer Kyprios over 1m6f in spring 2024 and Curragh Group 2 on latest outing was up with his best form, albeit finishing only sixth of seven; last year's 17th in the Ebor and 11th in the Cesarewitch, both off only 3lb higher than today, suggest it is best to turn elsewhere despite his illustrious connections.
