Late-maturing mare; started her career with Tramore second in November, 15l clear of third-placed Slotty Dotty who has won a handicap since; was keen then and still looked raw when making most in a 2m4f maiden here a month ago; faded into fourth, clear chance here over a shorter trip, second Workinonadream and fourth (Slotty Dotty) have boosted the form

Lightly raced 7yo who failed to achieve much in Ireland and changed hands for 1,400gns in January; however, her new trainer can do well with stable-switchers and it will be no surprise to see a good run; watch the betting.
