Placed in a Naas nursery last term and runner-up in her first three outings this season at 6f/7f/1m, each time staying on late; ground may have been too quick for her when she failed to reproduce her best form at Down Royal 12 days ago; on balance, appeals more than Beau Army, fourth in that event.
