Won back-to-back Down Royal handicaps over the extended 1m2f and bounced back from a below-form hat-trick bid to finish third (beaten roughly 1l) at the Curragh when last seen in August; that was a first run at this sort of trip and there could be more to come.

All her best form has come at Down Royal, notably winning the 2m2f Ulster Cesarewitch last September off 63; never sighted on her Curragh comeback last month (1m6f, good); good ground suits and may improve over that first run back but must prove she can give her best away from her favoured northern track.
