Form & Verdict
Campaigned at stakes level this year to good effect, notably just touched off in Killarney Listed over this trip; not far off that form when fourth in Naas fillies' Listed on latest although barely got home in soft ground; possibly not the strongest of finishers and interesting to see how she takes to this surface.
