Improved from debut to win a fillies' maiden at the Curragh last month; sire's progeny usually appreciate quick ground so good chance she'll improve again and form has been boosted with the runner-up landing a maiden since.

One of two runners for yard; consistent form in Listed company at 10.5f to 13f this season before being outclassed in a Group 2 at the Curragh on latest start; she should be a lot more comfortable in this company and she looks capable of picking up more black type if taking to the surface on her AW bow.

Steadily progressive this term upped in trip, notably second to subsequent Queens Vase third Birdman in 1m5f Navan Listed (4-runners) and when back to 1m2f in Naas Oaks Trial last month, outpaced late after briefly hitting the front late on; trip/ground to suit, seems sure to go well.

Solid steps forward in each run so far this year, landing a 7f Limerick maiden on her penultimate start before seemingly relishing a step up in trip when landing a valuable contest at Gowran earlier this month; possibly improved for quicker ground that day and sets the standard on form.
