First reserve; reached a mark of 94 when winning three times as 4yo; rating has steadily declined since then, although two runs this year not without some merit; blinkers reached for. |

Best form in 2022, winning three times in a July-to-September spell, and rising to a career-high mark of 94; frustrating in recent seasons; joined Peter Fahey late last year after a claiming-race third on AW; stumbled out of the stalls over 7f at Leopardstown earlier this month, left with too much to do; capable of better. |

Two-time course winner over 6f is 1lb below her last success and is closely matched with Irish Rumour on her penultimate run when a short-head second at the Curragh; below that level back there last weekend but no surprise to see her bounce back. |

No AW win since March 2024; respectable showings, behind in-form rivals, over a range of trips (6f-1m) recently, without doing enough to suggest that she's primed to strike; drop back to 7f is helpful and she might have place possibilities; one of two for Iain Jardine. |

Three wins this year, the latest at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in June, and now makes her stable debut having been picked up for 1,000gns this month; ran well on yielding ground in Ireland, but stamina for this far is still to be proven and she is 2lb out of the weights. |
