Dam was a star; a wide-margin maiden win at Rosscommon indicates she is getting the hang of things; Shane Foley prefers here to Serialise, his mount when third in this race last year.

Not beaten far in all four starts at 7f-7.5f and rated 80; had Tina's Charm 1.25l behind when fifth of 21 at the Curragh (7f, good) on seasonal reappearance a month ago; should strip fitter now and leading claims.

Third foal; closely related to useful staying handicap winner Saturn; dam won the Irish 1,000 Guineas; built on promising Leopardstown debut when third back at the same venue last August; failed to match form when favourite at Dundalk on her only other juvenile start; questions to answer.

Bred in the purple and caught the eye on C&D debut when coming home well after getting outpaced and, as a consequence, meeting traffic; more needed to win this but well entered up and above-average improvement is likely.
