Won 1m AW handicap last winter when trained in UK; poor at Leopardstown on debut for this yard but a better run over 1m2f at Down Royal; a player if staying this trip.

Form & Verdict
Generally in good form on AW through the winter and it was a career best when runner-up at Dundalk in December; needs to prove she's as effective on turf and only 19th of 25 at Cork on Wednesay.

Record of 3-13 on the AW; went into notebooks after fast-finishing fifth of 16 at Gowran (1m) last month, stone last over 1f out but making rapid gains in the closing stages; shouldn't be far away back on favoured surface.

Did not show much in three runs last season; may slot into handicaps effectively bearing in mind her trainer's ability to find improvement with fillies in this age-group.
