Winner and placed on the Flat in France; showed little for this yard in three hurdle starts and was never involved on Flat return at Limerick over 1m; could improve from that, though and worth a market check.

Had looked fairly exposed but found more improvement last term and has carried that on with two excellent runs at the Curragh this spring, latest when third behind two progressive sorts over 1m2f; ground not being as soft as she'd like is one concern, as is a poor strike-rate for one of her ability.
