Beat one home in a soft ground Listowel maiden and seemed far more at home on a sounder surface when bolting up from a subsequent winner in a Dundalk maiden the following month; very promising filly but the ground would have to be a concern here.

Up 14lb for winning at Leopardstown and Roscommon over the summer; handicapper seems to have her measure but recent Leopardstown premier handicap run was a solid one and this doesn't look nearly as competitive, albeit shorter trip a possible issue.
