Gained second hurdles win at Clonmel (19.5f, good) last May off 101; went close there the following month when 1.25l fourth; was last seen finishing second at Clonmel again in October; best form is on a sounder surface and might need the run. |

4th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 50y |
10st 0lb |
21-race maiden has generally middling form but strung two good performances together towards the backend of last year when a 1l third here (2m4f, yielding) and a 3l third at Fairyhouse (2m4f, yielding); well beaten in four starts this year but perhaps return to this track can bring out her best; previously worn tongue-tie now left off. |

20th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 3f 0y |
10st 5lb |
Posted two solid efforts at Gowran (2m4f, yielding) and Fairyhouse (2m4f, yielding) at the backend of last year; 3m may have been too far on latest; lacks a run but has gone well fresh and could outrun likely odds. |

Clearly more expected of her over C&D last month when 4-1 but beaten 23l by Chosen Shant (good); not helped by jumping errors that day; beaten a long way on penultimate C&D start as well; longstanding maiden who went close at Tipperary in May (2m1f, good to yielding); she will put it all together someday. |
