Back from a break with a C&D (soft) second 1.5l behind Earls early last month and same mark now; won her maiden over C&D on heavy and not a bad run at the Curragh latest; solid chance if the visor ekes out a little bit more.

Kept good company in three outings at two, notably when third behind this year's Oaks heroine Ezeliya at Cork; easy to back on belated reappearance in Curragh fillies handicap last month, fading out of it final 2f; all the better for that run and could well figure.
