Form & Verdict
Two decent AW runs in early winter; back from a break and shaped like the run was needed when fourth of 23 in Curragh maiden in which Uncanny was second; hard to see her turning it around with the latter but should give another good account.

Navan maiden winner over 1m; two low-key handicap displays before creditable run at 50-1 when fifth in a Galway Listed race in which Princess Child finished second; again faces a huge task.

Two decent AW runs in early winter and came on nicely from turf debut in April to land 1m Navan fillies' maiden last month; unplaced favourite at Leopardstown on handicap debut, plenty to prove as a result.

Won her maiden here last season over 1m on good to yielding; followed that with a creditable effort on heavy in a Listed race at Leopardstown in October; her final run of 2024 at Saint-Cloud was too bad to be true; only rated 91 but she's proven on testing ground and she could outrun her likely odds.

Churchill filly made encouraging belated debut when second to subsequent Irish Cambridgeshire runner-up State Actor at the Curragh (1m, heavy) in April; unable to land short odds at Navan next time under forceful tactics but pair well clear of the remainder; this looks an ordinary maiden and she should make it third time lucky if she handles a sounder surface.

Placed in pair of Galway festival handicaps last summer having been bought out of Ralph Beckett's yard but hasn't really gone on since then; half a length in front of Golden Belle when fourth over 1m at Dundalk on last completed start and place claims at best.
