Very useful form at two, placed twice and fourth of eight in 1m Curragh Group 3; missed 3yo campaign; probably needed the run when an unplaced 3-1 chance on her return at Bellewstown and made amends in a Sligo handicap; this is a furlong shorter, but she quickened well to assert; should have no problem with the trip and this better ground.

Smart form in 2024 included a 4.75l fourth of 8 in a Group 3 at the Curragh (1m, good); ran well on debut on yielding at Galway (7f); dam side of pedigree suggests she'll stay 1m4f, trainer can ready one and she's preferred by Billy Lee; top-rated at 87; obvious chance if she's fit.

Had looked fairly exposed but found more improvement last term and has carried that on with two excellent runs at the Curragh this spring, latest when third behind two progressive sorts over 1m2f; ground not being as soft as she'd like is one concern, as is a poor strike-rate for one of her ability.

Loves it when the mud is flying, just as it was when she won off 9lb lower at Gowran in October (1m4f, heavy); has run respectably on all four starts on her favoured ground this term and has gone well here before but this ground will surely be too lively for her.
