Form & Verdict
Promising debut at Cork, keeping on nicely over 5f to finish third of 15; tendency to hang to the right possibly cost her the race when a neck second over an extended 6f at Listowel; stands out in this company on the basis of 6f Group 2 third behind the Albany Stakes runner-up Matrika at the Curragh; hard to oppose.
