Given an ambitious assignment in a Listed race at Naas last time; sights lowered again and looks like the one to beat based on her previous consistency; placed in all seven races between April and September; profile is concerning, especially on account of odds-on Fairyhouse defeat in September.

Two C&D wins to her credit and went close here in November; her next run may have come too soon (only a week later) and she finished out of the money; makes plenty of appeal on her third placing six weeks ago.
