Plenty of promise when finishing fifth in a Dundalk barrier trial back in July; was 7-2 for her racecourse debut at Gowran Park and she ran a very pleasing race to finish a 1.75l third of 14 behind Greatest Drama (Mint Candy second); open to improvement and leading claims.

Form & Verdict
Was a 22-1 shot for her debut at the Curragh (7f, good to firm) and she ran a nice race to finish fifth, just 2.5l behind subsequent maiden winner Jaliyah (New Wave 2l behind); she was slow away and green that day before staying on late and she should be more streetwise now; the form of her debut is strong and she is another with big claims.
