Won her maiden over C&D in October and returned with a C&D success last month; however, form of those races is nothing special and she finished last in a Listed race over a bit further here a fortnight ago.

Biggest win yet came on latest when landing Cork Listed (5f) on yielding, having previously readily won Naas conditions event over this trip; more likely needed in what looks a stronger race and draw probably not ideal.

C&D maiden winner and second to Kendall Roy in C&D Listed in June; took full advantage of good opportunity in minor Naas contest earlier this month, much tougher back in this grade but could go well and easier ground may suit.

Sole win in 20 starts came in Cork maiden in October 2024, but has been in excellent form this year in sprints, including runner-up efforts in Listed company over C&D (behind Mission Central) and Cork; never involved here 12 days ago, but type to bounce back and enjoys this track; the one to beat.

Career best to get off the mark in a 6f Dundalk maiden last month and only beaten half a length on handicap debut at Naas last week; up 5lb but warrants respect and gives the impression he has the speed for this first try at 5f.
