Won 1m Bellewstown maiden last year, earning an initial rating of 80; regressive this season and has now slumped to a career-low 66; fair run from out of the handicap at Naas three starts ago; vulnerable on the balance of handicap form; however, she is suited by the race conditions; cheekpieces (replacing blinkers) may help.

Second on debut in a Bellewstown maiden last July (1m, good) but the winner of that race hasn't boosted the form; returned from a break with pleasing third at Gowran recently when staying on despite being slightly hampered (1m, good); she is a contender but perhaps would prefer an emphasis on stamina.
