Likeable mare ran a cracking race on her seasonal return in a median auction race at Fairyhouse (6f, good) when just 0.5l behind the winner Tango Flare; rated just 92, however, so looks to be out of her depth in this grade (failed to trouble the judge in three previous runs in stakes company).

Twice second over 7f since a C&D win off 12lb lower in early December; leading chance on the basis of his run behind the favourite Tosen Wish nine days ago, but previously unplaced in a race in which Gobi Star was second.
