Gowran maiden winner; reappeared much improved in first-time hood to finish second in C&D Group 3 in March on heavy; drop to 7f probably unsuitable when only fifth behind A Lilac Rolla at Leopardstown on similar ground; drop in class and return to 1m did the trick in 1m Killarney event; will stay further than this on that evidence.

J: Ryan Moore

T: Joseph Patrick O’Brien

Yard runs three; well beaten in Listed races last autumn but, fit from hurdling, made a good Flat return when second at Navan (1m6f, heavy) at the end of March; that was both her Flat handicap debut and the furthest she's been in this sphere, which opens up possibilities for her as a Flat stayer.

An 82 rated filly ran her best race to date last time when narrowly denied at Tramore (12f, yielding); the visor worn that day is discarded and blinkers go on; she didn't look the most straightforward of rides the last day and this drop in trip and quicker ground raises question marks; however, she can't be fully discounted.
