Bought for 55,000euros after winning a 1m4f French bumper in May (very soft); penalised accordingly at Doncaster but that was still underwhelming in finishing about 12l off Merely A Detail; today's slower surface could assist and Gavin Sheehan presumably could have ridden stablemate Lady Tadita, as was the case on that one's debut.

Had two subsequent winners behind when justifying favouritism at Galway on debut in August (2m1f, good) and solid runs in defeat in three outings since without really progressing, most recently making most when third to Belladaball (Wonderful Everyday second) in Fairyhouse mares' Listed contest early this month; looking exposed and hard to see her reversing that form on same terms.
