Mare is reportedly in foal; got off the mark in a 1m2f Fairyhouse handicap before a solid run at Leopardstown over a furlong shorter; raced keenly then so will have to settle over this longer trip but certainly in the mix. |

Off the mark upped to 1m2f at Fairyhouse last week under a positive ride off a career-low mark; in-foal filly makes a quick return under mandatory 7lb penalty (upped 8lb in future) and has to be respected, despite a high draw. |

0-6 in Ireland last year for John McConnell; sold for 1,000gns in December; has poor claims on balance of form and, upped markedly in distance, looks a doubtful stayer on breeding. |

First of her two nursery outings was respectable, fifth of 11 at Gowran despite meeting some trouble in running; hard to fancy after moderate Galway run, though perhaps the addition of a tongue-tie will help. |

Just 1-26, winning a Navan claiming maiden in 2023; lost her form on AW last winter and poor back there last time; handles soft but not easy to fancy. |

12th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y |

Sole win from 25 starts came at Navan in a maiden claimer in 2023 over 1m; highly tried at this venue earlier this year with her best effort being a 1.75l third over 1m4f; poor in five runs at this track following that and tailed off when attempting hurdles for the first time at Cartmel last time; tongue-tie now added to hood. |
