Form & Verdict
Was a revelation on handicap debut at the Curragh when 100-1 and 6lb wrong at the weights, came from well back to be fourth of 27 over 6f; ruined her chance with a slow start in a 5f contest at Navan last week; began to run on late and could now reverse form with fifth-placed Sophia Klimt.

3 yo Filly

Form & Verdict
Second in a Galway nursery last October and on return in a Gowran handicap last month; bolted up at the same venue last week and has obvious prospects of coping with a fixed 7lb penalty since she is due to go up 12lb; suited by soft, so any easing would be a positive.
