Runner-up in a Wexford bumper before a year's absence; tailed off on hurdling debut in a Naas maiden but that race was won by high-class stablemate Slade Steel and he finished a lot closer there next time (fourth of 17; beaten 18l); she'll stay further but needs respecting in a maiden of this nature.
