Defied a market drift to win narrowly on her Tipperary debut (7.5f, soft) before disappointing when seemingly well fancied at 7-2 for a Group 3 at the Curragh; tongue-tie worn for both runs is now missing and she returns with her yard quiet.

Bred in the purple being a sister to Irish 2,000 Guineas winner Peaceful and shaped nicely on debut at Leopardstown when beaten 1.25l by her stablemate, taking second close home and shaping as if she would appreciate more of a test; sure to improve and a big player.
