Got off the mark on third start when winning a Dundalk maiden over 7f last year; a solid start to this term when fourth in the Group 3 Priory Belle Stakes at Leopardstown over the same trip; takes a big jump in trip but can't be ruled out from this source

Victory in the Ladies Derby and a third in a Curragh Listed saw her mark shoot up 21lb to 98; not beaten far in a Listed at Ayr in May and did not get the clearest of runs in a Leopardstown premier handicap last week; could be vulnerable over the shortest trip she has tried.
