Form & Verdict
Two moderate runs over 6f before showing producing a much livelier display when second in a 1m1f handicap at Leopardstown, staying on strongly from off the pace; trainer attributed the improvement to learning more about the filly's ideal trip, raising a doubt now that he drops her back in distance now; on the plus side, her two AW wins in Britain were gained at 7f.
