One of four for yard; enjoying an excellent campaign; won over 6.5f (good) at Limerick in July and narrowly denied in a 6f Listed heat at Naas later that month; took advantage of generous mark to bolt up in a Galway handicap (7f, yielding) and another fine effort in a Naas Group 3 (6f good) on latest; return to 7f a plus and leading claims.

Enjoying a fine campaign; won a 6.5f (good) rated race at Limerick on seasonal return; got to within 0.5l of Soul Love when second of 15 in C&D Listed race here last month; regained the winning thread in impressive fashion off favourable mark in a 7f (yielding) Galway handicap; progressive and should be thereabouts again.

Won over this trip at Dundalk and a 6.5f rated race at Limerick; seemingly improved out of all recognition when a very close second in a 6f Listed at Naas last week; up 16lb for future contests and on that basis is not easily opposable here.

Mixed form last season but has come good on latest two starts, in AW maiden in February and 11 days ago in Limerick rated race (6.5f) staying on late to assert; type to continue improving but this a considerable step up in class.

Half-sister to Group 2 winner Dancing Gemini; mixed form last season, beaten favourite twice; more like it when landing a 7f Dundalk conditions race in February with cheekpieces on; headgear left off now, but makes plenty of appeal in a race of this standard.
