Dual-purpose mare arrives in top form after back-to-back wins over C&D (yielding) and Tramore (1m4f, good) in lower grades; has gone up a total of 13lb but the form of her latest win has since been franked by the runner-up so there could yet be more to come; top rider booked.

Gained second turf win on latest at Ballinrobe (1m5f, yielding) under 5lb claimer; raised 7lb for that 3l success so effectively 12lb higher here with Keane taking over but clearly in good fettle and should run well again dropped slightly in trip (has won over 1m4f on good).

Form & Verdict

Can pick holes in the form of her Naas maiden (1m, good; 4-1) but she was getting the hang of things when finishing her race off well; should improve on that and Johnny Murtagh has her in the Group 1 Pretty Polly.
