Dual-purpose; 5-55 on turf on the Flat but on losing run since scoring at Leopardstown (1m4f, heavy) in October 2024; is now 17lb below that win and she shaped promisingly over an inadequate 1m here 13 days ago in a first-time tongue tie (retained); could go well back up in trip.

Won five times in Britain and has ran credibly for this yard a few times, most notably when runner-up at Roscommon last August off a 3lb higher mark and a few decent efforts on the AW earlier this year; return to turf at Leopardstown last time best forgiven as he went off to hard in heavy ground; return to better ground will suit and he has a live chance despite the draw.
