Lightly raced 4yo who won a Southwell maiden (6f, Tapeta) last summer and was runner-up in a 7f handicap there last month; didn't get the best of runs in that race and that was a promising effort after five months off; interesting contender off unchanged mark.

Only one win from 27 starts and that was on AW for Brian Meehan in 2023; fair AW form early this year and showed that a turf win could be within his range when second to Dancing Saxon at Limerick last time; form given a big boost by the winner in a Listed race; handicap mark reduced by a stone over the past 12 months; may come good now from low draw..

Second to a clear winner in Killarney maiden last October and similar level of form on latest when chasing home a progressive sort (winner again since) over this trip in Leopardstown handicap last month; both those efforts on much softer ground, untried on ground this quick but big player if handling it, although draw a negative.

Best run in six efforts came in Killarney maiden (1m, soft) in October when 5.5l to Lady Lilac; mild signs of promise in two runs this term, latest at Gowran Park 22 days ago when beaten 3.25l into fourth over 7f on good to yielding in a claimer; dropped 4lb and Colin Keane takes over for yard in good form; could be on a nice mark and each-way chance.

0-17 but has looked like her turn is near, placing the last four times over a range of trips from 5f to 1m; good 0.5l second to Gloriously Glam on last try over this trip in May, so shouldn't be far away back in a handicap.
