Point-to-point winner and bolted up on her track debut at Cork in March (soft to heavy); better still when excellent second in Grade 3 Punchestown mares' bumper in early May (good to yielding); looks a class apart from those to have run and clearly runs well fresh.

Top-rated at 132; 1-7 over hurdles; highly tried after Galway maiden win last October; failed to win but ran well in defeat in listed, grade 2 and grade 1 company at 2m4f-2m7f; below par on chase debut at Ballinrobe on latest but she's the one to beat on return to this sphere.
