Runner-up in a Tipperary maiden last year and at least matched that when a staying-on third in a 1m maiden here last month (runner-up won since); did not appear that day as though a drop back in trip was needed; still looks a major player.

Form & Verdict
High-class maiden; third in a Curragh Group 3 and the Moyglare Stud Stakes last year; way too keen and reportedly hung throughout on her seasonal bow in the Irish 1,000 Guineas; much calmer waters to negotiate here and should take all the beating.

Third behind Tahiyra in last season's Moyglare; too keen in the Irish 1,000 Guineas on return; off the mark with a wide-margin maiden win at Naas three weeks ago on her third start of the season; may continue to prosper with her confidence boosted.
