Form & Verdict
Encouraging debut when beaten half a length in a 7f fillies' race at the Curragh was then fifth in the Moyglare Stud Stakes over the same C&D; that is form that's worked out very nicely and she will be hard to beat if she's at that sort of level on return.

Beat a decent filly in a Naas maiden in June; very little went right for her when fifth in a Leopardstown Group 3 when last seen; unexposed and could well be effective at this level; one of the more interesting runners.
