Early promise; three instances of beaten favouritism before an odds-on maiden win at Limerick; her chance is not obvious in the light of an official rating of 93; however, dramatic improvement is not out of the question with the stable in outstanding form this week.

Took third in a Naas Group 3 on debut last term (6f, good); beaten favourite in Albany Stakes next time and no help to favourite backers in two maiden runs this term either; collared late on at the Curragh (7f, heavy) when second; filled the same spot despite 1-2 odds at Cork last time (7f, soft to heavy); drying ground could help her and may finally make the breakthrough.

Not beaten far when third of 13 in a Naas maiden (6f, good) last August; two maiden runs this year below that level; a doubt about her official rating of 75 was raised by her handicap debut at the Curragh, when last of 12; on the plus side, the stable has had two recent winners.
