Placed in 2m5f Wexford mares maiden for Sam Curling two seasons back and having returned from best part of two year's absence, good effort on second run back when chasing home an all-the-way winner over 3m at Limerick last month; not quite at that level when fourth in similar contest since but place claims here.
