Only win came on the Flat in 2023; back to something like her best with a third at Tipperary on penultimate start but not as good at Killarney since and this is tough race to try and break the maiden tag.

Running well in defeat on the Flat prior to her return to hurdles when third, not beaten far by Queenofthelodge; might have finished closer without a late error that day but best form has come on quicker ground than what is likely here.
