Form & Verdict
Unplaced in six starts since her win on debut in a Curragh maiden as a juvenile; very keen when only beating one home over C&D on first start since the summer and keen again when beaten 6l over 6f when last seen; showed a fair bit of zip but does need to settle better and the wide draw isn't ideal over this C&D.

Speedy front-runner; progressive in handicaps last year, including two 5f Dundalk wins; ran fast in Tipperary Listed race last August, fading late into third behind today's rival Twilight Jet; made all to win 5f Group 3 at Dundalk last October; a long way below her best on reappearance in Naas event in which Twilight Jet was second.
