Five-time winner at 5f-6f on good and yielding ground; well beaten on seasonal return at the Curragh (6f, soft) but may have needed that; likely to be ridden to try and nick some black type and could outrun her likely odds if they go a strong gallop.

Didn't seem to handle the track at Bellewstown on her second start; backed from 100-1 into 33-1 late on last time at Navan, she was given a forceful ride and was only beaten just over 1l in fourth; rider excellent value for his 5lb claim and stable 3-9 at the track this year; respected in first-time cheekpieces.
