In great form earlier this season notching up back-to-back handicap wins at Cork off 75 and Gowran Park off 82; not disgraced in a Cork Group 3 (1m4f, good) on her penultimate start but well-beaten in a Listed heat at Gowran Park on latest; probably up against it in this company.

Season was cut short after winning the 1m4f Cork Derby (premier handicap) last June; was a very progressive mare up to that point; sights lowered now after two outings in Listed races this term; has never raced below 1m3f, this may be too sharp.

Decent form over hurdles during the winter; would probably have won at a Sligo with a clear run, and has an edge over You Owe Me Money and Camelot Alexander on that evidence; beaten decisively by a front-runner when tackling 1m4f at Leopardstown.

Record of 1-19 over timber; three-time winner on the Flat has placed in two starts in that sphere since falling over hurdles at Leopardstown in March; recent form suggests she's fit and healthy but poor strike rate over hurdles is off-putting.
