Good level of form before Roscommon maiden win over extended 7f; thrown in a bit at the deep end on handicap debut when towards rear in Scurry Handicap over shorter (soft ground too); not to be discounted down in class and back at probably her best trip.

Won a 1m maiden a year ago; uneven form on turf this year before a narrow C&D handicap win in October; not well treated at the weights in a Listed race here last month, so it was a surprise when she was sent off favourite; finished with only one behind her; should be much more at home down in grade here.
