Form & Verdict
Off the mark in Dundalk maiden last December; fine turf debut effort in Curragh handicap in June, staying on well to finish fourth of 21 over 1m1f; narrowly beaten at Down Royal and does not need to improve much in first-time cheekpieces; not much between her and Aird.

C&D win came in a maiden in 2023; a couple of decent runs this term but reportedly stopped very quickly when down the field at Leopardstown latest; is 2lb below her last turf win but was well held by Iron Fist at the Curragh in May and others more convincing.
