Likeable mare ran a cracking race on her return from the AW to finish a close third in Fairyhouse conditions event (6f, good) in June; not at same level later in month in Curragh Listed and good bit to find with Fregada on that run.

Likeable mare ran a cracking race on her seasonal return in a median auction race at Fairyhouse (6f, good) when just 0.5l behind the winner Tango Flare; rated just 92, however, so looks to be out of her depth in this grade (failed to trouble the judge in three previous runs in stakes company).
