Didn't show a lot in maidens but built on positive handicap debut at Ballinrobe to score back there on her penultimate start (1m1f, good to yielding) with subsequent winners in behind; well supported but couldn't follow up raised in trip at Sligo last time (1m5f, good to yielding); this looks more her trip and she is a big danger.
