Definite signs of improvement on her two most recent starts; not beaten far in fourth in a conditions event at Bellewstown in August; the ground was good then, but she coped with much softer going when third in a maiden at Listowel, 7l clear of the fourth; every chance if progressive trend continues with a hood added here.

In good form last year for Shane Nolan and better again this year in cheekpieces, backing up Down Royal success with decisive 2m2f Leopardstown success last month under hold-up tactics; up an aggregate of 19lb so more needed from 2lb out of handicap but in such good form has to be respected.
