Form & Verdict
Modest debut last year on AW over 7f (25/1) but was much better when runner-up (2/1 fav') at the Curragh on return over 1m2f; should have improved for that and up in trip so a big player.

Held by Dancing Tango on their recent clash in a 1m6f Group 3 but that was a big step up for this filly on the back of a maiden win at Down Royal (1m5f); might be vulnerable to something with a greater finishing kick but it's still early days.

Form & Verdict
First two starts were over shorter on softer ground but showed lots of improvement raised to this trip when 3rd at Curragh on good ground last time; there should be more to come and is a big player.
