Effective in blinkers but surprising to see them back on after returning to form in new cheekpieces at Cork where she was third in a 1m4f Group 3; probably needs further now and was staying on when fourth in this race 12 months ago.

Steady improver last year for the Halford/Collins team, winning handicaps at Dundalk and Curragh; career-best on return when runner-up in C&D Listed in April (good) but well below that form twice since, latest in Munster Oaks here; first-time cheekpieces need to bring improvement to figure.

Well beaten over 2m here on stable/hurdle debut in May and ran to just a fair level when placed over that trip on next two outings; however, last year's useful Irish Flat form over middle-distance/staying trips in headgear offers hope he can improve over hurdles now he's upped to 2m4f with a visor refitted; interesting.
