Form & Verdict
Surprise winner on her handicap debut at Cork in September (6f, soft to heavy; 7lb lower); ran in a Listed race next time and she ran well back in a handicap at the Curragh (7f, heavy) when fourth of 22 behind last Sunday's winner Zephron; later changed hands for 135,000gns and could yet be capable of better; tongue-tie worn for last three races replaced by a hood.

Surprise winner of a Cork handicap in September (6f) and ran well over C&D when fourth in November; changed hands for 135,000 gns and made a successful yard debut at Gowran, winning by 0.75l from Gypsy Woman over this trip; 8lb rise makes things tough but definite claims.

Had been on a losing run of over 2.5 years before a short head victory at Gowran last time provided her fourth career turf win (1m, soft); runner-up hasn't done much for the form in the meantime; still on an attractive mark compared to her previous wins if continuing on an upward curve.

Winless since rattling off a treble in 2023; however, her two recent runs over 1m suggest she is close to striking again, with a close second at Leopardstown and 1.5l sixth at Galway last time; probably doesn't want it too soft; new headgear on.
