Irish filly who has shown steady improvement; beat Alabama by half a length in Curragh Listed event (5f, good) last time out, following up her nursery success; may rate higher still; one to consider.

Progressive form; short-headed by Storm Miami in a Naas maiden before narrowly landing a Cork nursery; all of her best form is on good ground though and the forecast rain would be a worry.

Form & Verdict
Was a fine second over C&D on debut in testing ground before a third in a Naas Group 3 over 6f; below form in the Queen Mary and Albany Stakes (both Group 2) since but this is easier and no ground concerns; big player with a fine 5lb claimer aboard.
