Won a 6f Curragh handicap on debut for this stable in August; came up short in stakes company since, though wasn't beaten far staying on for fourth in a 6f Naas Listed latest; 0-2 on AW, drawn wide and not sure the drop to 5f will suit.

Ran some fine races in defeat at 6f-7f in stakes company last season for Ralph Beckett; back to winning ways on debut for this yard off 101 in a C&D handicap on seasonal reappearance in August; too keen stepped back up to 7f in a Doncaster Group 3 latest; capable of better if she settles.
