Form & Verdict

Lightly raced filly who followed up her maiden win at Limerick (1m, good) with a near miss dropped to 7f on handicap debut at Leopardstown; 4lb higher now but returning to 1m should help.

Better for being gelded and front-running tactics when winning a Gowran maiden (1m, heavy) and a Leopardstown handicap (1m, good); accepted a lead when a beaten favourite at Naas (rated race; just behind Democracy); remains open to further improvement.

Thoroughly exposed but having a good season and was good value for his narrow winning margin at Leopardstown (1m, good); an 8lb rise demands more but looks sure to give it his best shot.
