Useful middle-distance performer on the Flat, though failed to do herself justice on her AW debut at Dundalk in January; has run in two good hurdle races, a Grade 2 contest at Leopardstown and a conditions event at Fairyhouse in which she was a respectable third of six behind a useful yardstick, 134-rated Bacchanalian.
