Had lots of useful stakes form, including her fourth to stablemate Tahiyra in last year's Irish 1,000 Guineas, before snaring her first blacktype win with decisive success in C&D Listed contest on good ground last month; ex-Ballydoyle runner-up might be flattered by his mark these days but she won with plenty to spare and there should be more to come.
