Promising debut in a 6f maiden here in May but was unable to make an impression in a 7f contest the following month; needs to find considerably more to be a factor here as she tries 1m for the first time.

Unplaced in two maidens before 66-1 C&D win in a Group 3 event last August; never closer than her finishing position when seventh of 12 in the Prix Marcel Boussac; creditable display when 25-1 third on seasonal debut at Leopardstown, only 1 1/4l behind runner-up Tarawa.

Third behind Tahiyra in last season's Moyglare; too keen in the Irish 1,000 Guineas on return; off the mark with a wide-margin maiden win at Naas three weeks ago on her third start of the season; may continue to prosper with her confidence boosted.
