Twice narrowly denied over C&D over the summer and has recorded wins at Leopardstown and most recently at Galway 15 days ago, handling soft ground well when getting up late over extended 1m; plenty to like although usual 7lb claimer not aboard this time.

Plenty of ability but very hard to win with; sole Irish success came at the Curragh in April 2024; later that year, twice second to Merisi Diamond over C&D; again ran well here on seasonal debut and when second at Listowel later in May; possibly needed the run here last time.

Has a patchy profile but she's won twice this year including a comfortable one under Myla Coppins at Brighton (1m2f classified) last time; hard to rule out another good run, but her turf wins have been on good/good to firm and it would be a concern if the conditions become testing.
