Form & Verdict
A 95,000euros yearling showed some promise on debut at Gowran in April over 1m after not getting the cleanest of trips; pedigree suggests that she should stay this trip and, with improvement to come, can be involved.

Beaten just 2l when fourth at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) earlier in the month but Friday's heavy defeat on similar ground at Exeter (extended 2m2f) takes some explaining; swaps cheekpieces for blinkers and her yard might have better prospects with Best Night.

Sole success over hurdles a Fairyhouse maiden (2m, heavy) in February 2024; beaten a head off 3lb lower at the Galway Festival last August (2m1f, good); shaped like this trip might suit when remote third behind Jacovec Tavern at Punchestown (19.5f, yielding) in sole start since; could go well.

Form & Verdict
Well-bred sort was a close third in a Galway maiden over 1m on soft ground last season; hasn't matched that form since and was gelded after a disappointing reappearance at Gowran; steps up in trip in first-time cheekpieces and a big player if reproducing his best.
