Form & Verdict
Lightly raced but has achieved plenty; third over C&D in the Munster Oaks last June before gamely landing the Listed Oyster Stakes at Galway; in between was narrowly beaten by today's rival Sumiha in a Curragh maiden; likes cut in the ground so connections will not want it to dry out much more.
