16-race maiden; well beaten at Ffos Las on last month's stable debut but her peak Irish efforts bring her into the reckoning; the betting should guide.

Left Ireland for 15,000euros and a 15-race maiden, though very nearly put that right on the AW (1m) in October; has turf form as well; could be interesting on stable debut should market vibes be at all posititive.

No wins in 14 but has been competitive more than once at the Curragh this year and she ran second over 1m2f here in July; perhaps better at this trip.
