Sole win came over 5f at Down Royal three years ago; best run for some time when placed in Sligo handicap early this month off basement mark of 40; plenty on at the weights against most of her rivals here.

Form & Verdict
Just 1-21 and had been struggling for this yard prior to a much improved effort at Bellewstown earlier in the month when beaten a head by Zig Zag Zyggy (dead-heated for second with Scarlet Dancer); handles testing conditions and should be in the mix but drawn wider than ideal.

Only one win from 33 starts and that came for Richard Fahey as a 2yo; however, knocking on the door of late having gone close in his last three starts and only beaten a head by Zig Zag Zyggy at Bellewstown last time (dead-heated for second with Eruption); might want better ground than what is likely but can't be ruled out.
