Four runs in maidens have revealed very little; could well be the lowest-rated horse at Ballydoyle, and even then the assessor has not taken many chances; would be a much bigger price if coming from any other yard.

Bitterly disappointing given her pedigree/purchase price (cost 500,000gns) and didn't improve for the drier ground when dropping right out at Naas (1m); even a mark of 66 looks high on what she's achieved.

Wootton Bassett filly who cost 500,000gns as a yearling; showed a bit of minor promise at Thurles on debut and may have found the ground too testing at Leoaprdstown since; 203 days off and may need this return up in trip; has to leave 2yo form behind.
