The breakthrough win had been coming and did it decisively at Punchestown (1m1f, good to yielding) despite a wide draw; fine on soft ground as well but she's gone up 8lb and they claimed 7lb last time, so has more on her plate off this mark.

Inconsistent filly but she had an excuse when upped to 1m6f last week and that was after a brave win over C&D (classified event) seven days earlier; still unexposed on AW and has possibilities if she can recapture that penultimate form; visor is removed and blinkers are now tried.
