Form & Verdict
Her sole success came on her one try on this surface in a maiden in March; has acquitted herself very well in stakes company since, especially when a close fourth in a Curragh Group 3 and when runner-up in a Naas Listed last month; trip and surface are fine and an outside draw is not a hindrance here anymore.
