First foal; dam poor maiden half-sister to winners Ready To Roc (5f 2yo/US 6f), Quirky Gertie (7f) and I Am Dandy (7f); plenty green, didn't run badly on debut at Leopardstown last October, not quite getting home over 1m1f on heavy ground; potential improver back in trip on better ground.

Promising second on Leopardstown debut last October (7f, yielding to soft); raced keenly and in front over 1f out when run out of things late on at Navan (1m2f, heavy), finishing third; collared late over 1m at Bellewstown last time; stays well despite a pedigree more geared to shorter distances.

Slow to break but shaped reasonably well over 7f here on debut last July when staying on strongly into fifth, having run green; not beaten far when fifth of nine over the same trip at the Galway festival; no match for the well-fancied Mixed Feelings in a 1m maiden here in April; not guaranteed to uphold form with fourth-placed Lake Bonney.
