Form & Verdict
Achieved a fair standard of form in four runs at two; cheekpieces worn when fifth of 16 at Galway in September are back on having been left off when she was close up in fourth over C&D in October; form of that race got a recent minor boost with a win for third-placed J M's Joy at the Curragh.

Ex-Dermot Weld filly made an underwhelming start for this yard in a Curragh handicap (1m2f, good) last month; should be sharper now but has to prove she stays this far; tongue tie and visor go on.

All five runs this season have been at Gowran, winning twice over 1m2f and not beaten fair into fourth in 1m4f Listed; didn't count back in trip on latest when visor tried (now replaced by usual cheekpieces); return to 1m4f may suit but stablemate Romzina may have stronger claims.

Second runner for top yard and preferred by Lordan; promise on debut at the Curragh (7f, soft) in March and again when runner up behind the now 93 rated Deressa at Gowran (9.5f, yielding) in April; lacks a recent run but this half-sister to Palace Pier holds leading form claims in first-time cheekpieces.
