Record of 0-15; 0-3 on the AW but caught the eye here over 10.5f last month when slowly away but staying on well late; did too much too soon when fifth over C&D latest, beaten just over 3l; yard having a fine spell; dangerous to dismiss.

Sole victory from 21 starts came in a 1m4f handicap Dundalk in December 2024; slipped up at Dundalk on her final 2025 start after an excellent second in a 23-runner handicap at Navan; however, that was 1m6f, and this trip may prove inadequate.

Dual-purpose maiden was solid sixth of 20 (Scott Lang fourth) in 1m6f handicap at Roscommon but she's 11lb worse off with that rival here; kept busy over hurdles of late and needs to find a bit more to be of interest for win purposes.
