Didn't show anything at Naas on debut but left that run behind to make all in a Curragh maiden last month; every chance this longer trip and quicker ground will both suit and is probably the one to beat.

Won twice as a juvenile, including over 6f at this venue; won a 7f Fairyhouse handicap last year; well below that level on final two starts of the campaign; looked an awkward ride on her reappearance in a 7f premier handicap here last month; may simply have been ring-rusty; should improve from the run, and first-time cheekpieces may help.
