Got firmly back on track with successive wins to end 2022, including when too strong for Queens Brook (albeit in receipt of 3lb) in a Leopardstown Grade 3 (2m4f, soft) over Christmas; will need a good bit more again if she's to extend that winning sequence to three, though. |

11st 7lb |
Second to Marie's Rock in Grade 1 event at Cheltenham last year and third to Honeysuckle last month; was getting 9lb and had the advantage of race-fitness when relegation Brandy Love to third here in February; did well to uphold that form at Cheltenham; place chance again. |

14th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 3f 200y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Second to Marie's Rock in this 12 months ago; warmed up for this year's renewal with a win in a 2m4f Punchestown Grade 3 (yielding) three weeks ago, but Brandy Love was just under 5l behind in third and meets her on 9lb better terms now; this likeable mare looks sure to give her running but this looks a stronger race than last year. |

Created a good impression in winning a Thurles mares' maiden hurdle last season but career has not progressed as might have been expected; has done most of her racing in good company; not without a chance if the addition of a tongue-tie does the trick in her first handicap. |

Created a good impression in a Thurles mares maiden hurdle last season but never really kicked on from there; jumping left a bit to be desired and eventually tailed off in a Grade 3 at Leopardstown two weeks ago; likely to do better here but others have an edge. |

Couldn't live with Queens Brook at Punchestown and has no right to be reversing those placings on very similar terms; placed if she's lucky. |

Got off the mark at third time of asking over hurdles with a commanding maiden win at Cork in April (2m3f, heavy) but following month faded tamely on better ground at Killarney when facing considerably stiffer task; front-runner could still have more to offer and not to be ruled out. |
