0-23 over hurdles but she has finished second four times; beaten 5l into second at Leopardstown off 86 in March 2023; went close off 84, 86 and 87 later that year; well-handicapped now off 80 but she hasn't shown enough in four runs this season; needs a revival.

Beaten no more that a length in three successive 2m handicaps in early autumn but maiden's form has dipped since; back up in trip with headgear combo back on for the first time since last year.
