Winless since rattling off a treble in 2023; however, her two recent runs over 1m suggest she is close to striking again, with a close second at Leopardstown and 1.5l sixth at Galway last time; probably doesn't want it too soft; new headgear on.

Got much closer than previously when 5l behind the winner at Bellewstown (1m, yielding; first-time blinkers) this month, but still only seventh of 15; this is a drop in grade, though, and any market confidence would be interesting.
