Won a 2m Limerick maiden hurdle by 12l in January; four decent runs in defeat in conditions races over hurdles before being given a break; rated 120 over hurdles, so should be able to pay her way over fences. |

Returned from a break with a 28-1 win at Killarney (22.5f, good) and raised 5lb for that; won over C&D at this meeting two years ago off 92; will need a career best off this mark but that's not impossible. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 6f 80y |

Is 3-16 over hurdles, all of the wins coming on soft; her last win came in a 2m4f Limerick Christmas mares' hurdle off 116; tailed off at Naas following that and again disappointing at Limerick when last seen in April; she has won after a break in the past but the ground is a worry. |
