Promise both starts early last season over 5f here on soft (3.25l behind subsequent Group 1 winner Power Blue) and at Cork on good ground; has been off the track since that 2.5l third at Cork last April but that debut effort stands out and if she repeats that, she should be thereabouts.

Showed ability in all three maiden starts at 5f-7f on soft, good and good to yielding ground; failed to beat a rival home stepped into Group 3 company at Leopardstown latest (7f, gd-yld); could do better now tackling a handicap for the first time.

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.
