It took her nine starts to win in Ireland (did run in Group company a couple of times); twice backed out of contention having made running/disputed lead for new yard this time around (both 1m); watching brief advised on AW debut.

An 8,000 euros 2yo; dam 1m4f winner (RPR 80), half-sister to 2m Group 3 winner Patkai and 1m4f Group 3 winner Modun; belied his 100-1 odds on last month's Punchestown debut, slow to break and green before finishing out strongly into third over this trip; seems sure to come on for that.

Runner-up on five occasions; had become expensive to follow before beating Earls narrowly at Killarney, justifying good market support; has gone up 8lb, but his confidence may have been boosted by the breakthrough win.

Maiden has finished second five times, twice at Ballinrobe and three times at Leopardstown; on second start of the season, was backed at latter venue when front-running second over 1m1f; that was on soft to heavy, but he's fine on good; doesn't have to lead, but mightn't be much competition for it here.
