Off the mark upped to 1m2f at Fairyhouse last week under a positive ride off a career-low mark; in-foal filly makes a quick return under mandatory 7lb penalty (upped 8lb in future) and has to be respected, despite a high draw.

Highly progressive since dropping to handicaps, winning at Cork over 1m4f before runner-up at Sligo (1m2f) and Roscommon (1m4f); has risen 14lb in that time but drops back in grade again and is a major player even under his big weight.
