AW maiden winner; best runs this term when placed over this trip at both the Curragh and Limerick; increasingly slow starts hampering her prospects, never recovering at Roscommon latest; worth treating with degree of caution.

No win since June 2024; stand-out effort last year a fine second in a premier fillies' handicap at Leopardstown (1m, gd-yld); 1lb lower here but hard to fancy on this season's efforts.

Her wins have been at 6f-7f but best run last year when runner-up in valuable C&D handicap on Champions Weekend in September off 1lb lower; heavy ground against her final start; one to consider although lacks a recent run.
