Dundalk maiden winner in December; has beaten just one rival home in first two turf handicaps at Sligo (10.5f, soft) and Leopardstown (1m2f, good); yard going well but she's hard to fancy on those last two efforts.

Hasn't managed to build on very promising turf return at the Curragh back in June (1m4f, good) though did run well at Down Royal over shorter; too keen in lady riders handicap when last seen in August and now makes AW debut after a break (runs well fresh).
