Ran respectably in a couple of handicaps earlier this season; several less encouraging displays before winning a claimer for Paul Flynn at Ballinrobe last month; raised 6lb for winning a 0-60 handicap at Gowran last week on debut for Ado McGuinness; had a fairly hard race, but has a strong chance if fully recovered.

Form & Verdict

In-form filly arrives in search of a hat-trick after knuckling down to win claimers at Bellewstown (1m, good) and Killarney (1m, good); this longer trip is a query, but should be on the premises again if she stays (stamina in pedigree but ran poorly over 10.5f before).
