Downpatrick maiden winner last September but form afterwards largely disappointing until encouraging comeback run at Listowel, staying on well over 2m4f; step up in trip could suit.

Best of her five maiden hurdle runs came against subsequent winner Nine Graces at Punchestown in February; below that in a Limerick handicap since and has plenty to find today.
