Form & Verdict
Off the mark on handicap debut at Killarney last month, 25-1 shot plenty keen and hung left but saw 1m3f trip out really well in first-time blinkers; 7lb rise but still looks a work in progress and could have more to offer.

Effective in blinkers but surprising to see them back on after returning to form in new cheekpieces at Cork where she was third in a 1m4f Group 3; probably needs further now and was staying on when fourth in this race 12 months ago.

Steady improver last year for the Halford/Collins team, winning handicaps at Dundalk and Curragh; career-best on return when runner-up in C&D Listed in April (good) but well below that form twice since, latest in Munster Oaks here; first-time cheekpieces need to bring improvement to figure.
