Good servant to her connections; four-time winner from 7f to 1m2f, but very much at home on much softeer ground than she meets today; up against it taking on some promising fillies with younger legs today. |

Added her fourth handicap win over 10.5f here in October off 63 (yielding); decent fourth in a higher grade next time at Leopardstown (1m4f, heavy) but disappointed at the Curragh on her final start of 2025; out of her depth on return at Cork; this more realistic but others preferred. |
