Seven of her eight runs have been on good ground; has some ups and downs in her profile but she's been generally progressive and hit a personal best when landing a Group 2 at the Curragh (1m, good) on return last month; has a penalty for that success but she found plenty after travelling strongly into the race and had two of today's rivals behind her; still unexposed at this trip and she's an interesting contender.
