Followed a poor effort at Cork with a 33-1 win at Killarney (1m, good) in May, holding on by a short head after making all; backed that up with a C&D third; no match for Yquem over C&D three weeks ago; could struggle to turn the tables on the in-foal winner.

Won Cork handicap (7f, soft) last September; failed to sustain that progress on her last three starts in 2025; improved from her seasonal debut when fifth at Gowran; not one of the more obvious contenders after unplaced Cork run.

Won 7f handicap here last September (soft); failed to sustain progress afterwards but definite promise on last month's seasonal return at Gowran when never nearer fifth of 16 on similar ground; poor on only previous attempt at this trip but better ground could enable her to see it out.
