Form & Verdict
Back to her best when beaten just 1l in a fillies' maiden at the Galway festival last month and did well from a wide draw that day; however, she has a bit to find on form and her two very best efforts have come with soft in the going description.

Fairly useful last term for Kevin Prendergast, winning twice over 1m4f (good/AW); only seventh of nine in Goodwood Listed event (1m4f) on stable/seasonal debut but may improve with the outing under her belt and provided she stays this new trip.

Fourth of 24 on debut before finding Group 3 company too hot on her second start; got back on track with a good third of 15 in a Curragh maiden (1m2f, good) and wasn't beaten far again in a Galway maiden last time just behind Alaroos; should improve back on quicker ground and her Curragh run sets the standard.
