Solid debut over 6f behind a well-regarded filly and improved on that when runner-up at Navan, also over 6f; now looks in need of this extra furlong having come from off the pace for a neck second over 6f here on return.

5f maiden winner at Cork early last season on heavy; highly tried afterwards without success and last month's comeback run in Naas handicap in similar ground was just okay; blinkers now tried and needs to improve plenty.

Justify half-sister to nine winners including Requinto, a 5f Group 2 winner at two; dam won the Queen Mary and the Phoenix Stakes; easy to back when making winning debut in Dundalk fillies maiden over this trip in October, quite green when holding on in blanket finish; hood now fitted for turf debut and likely more to come; ground should suit too.
