Consistent enough filly; touched off in a heavy ground maiden over 1m2f for John O'Donoghue; seemed to see out longer trips quite well on her last two runs, here and at Tramore; drop back in trip not certain to suit, but certainly respected.

Promise on first two runs of the season for John O'Donoghue on yielding and soft to heavy; another decent effort when a 4.25l fourth on debut for this yard at Ballinrobe (1m5f, yld); good ground is a query, should go well if acts on it.
