Has raced at 5f, placing three times at Listed level since making all in a Down Royal maiden in June; not at her very best when fifth at Dundalk last time (final start for Jack Davison) but performed well enough to think she's effective on AW; a first ever runner for her trainer; this speedy sort will take plenty of pegging back if seeing out the extra 1f.

Runner-up in a 6f Curragh maiden last month and probably equalled that despite showing a couple of quirks over 5f at Tipperary later in the month; handles soft ground and unraced on ground as quick as this; cheekpieces left on and should be a significant player again.
