Three-time winner in points only started under Rules at Easter; won narrowly at Tramore when fitted with first-time headgear and then much better form when fine third to the vastly experienced Early Doors at Killarney (2m7f); scope to improve further but this trip will test her stamina.

Struggled in handicaps for previous yard over a range of trips up to 3m2f this season since returning from a long absence, but capitalised on a reduced mark when winning over C&D last week on stable debut, ridden by Jess Stewart; carries a penalty but could figure if reproducing that effort.
