One of two runners for Joseph O'Brien; has come from well behind at the Curragh (7f/1m, good) in both her handicaps, scraping home by the skin of her teeth in the latest; this weight would be borderline for Dylan Browne McMonagle who has ridden this filly on her last two starts but now partners her stablemate.
