Very little mileage on the clock; definite promise in two of her maiden runs, the first of which was in 2023; three handicap attempts in 2025 were poor; much improved when fifth over 7f here a fortnight ago, but has a bit to find with third-placed Winemaker.

The breakthrough win had been coming and did it decisively at Punchestown (1m1f, good to yielding) despite a wide draw; fine on soft ground as well but she's gone up 8lb and they claimed 7lb last time, so has more on her plate off this mark.
