Best run in two points came in October when runner-up to a smart-looking winner (since sold for GBP330,000) at Tattersalls Farm; is related to plenty of winners and of interest on rules debut.

Placed in two points and won a bumper in 2022; absent since mid-division in Grade 3 mares' bumper at Punchestown in April 2023; it remains to be seen how much ability she retains but she's travelled from Ireland to make her comeback and it's a weak race; the betting may be informative.
