Form & Verdict

Gained back-to-back Curragh wins in 2023 in a maiden and a handicap, but those are her only successes from 36 starts; has raced exclusively at that track since April last year and was a 5.25l fourth in a decent handicap there in July (1m, good to yielding) when last seen; remains to be seen how she does away from the Curragh.
