Made seasonal return at Wolverhampton over 6f in April when a well beaten seventh of eight; two wins to her name as a 2yo when trained by Charlie Johnston; last win came last August from a 2lb lower mark; out of form since then but makes stable debut here and a claimer aboard could give her a chance.

Two front-running wins as a 2yo when trained by Charlie Johnston (including here over 5f); sold for 12,000gns after a couple of lesser effots last September; well drawn for a prominent racer and interesting to see how she goes in the betting on her first run for Kevin Ryan.

Only one win from 28 starts; placed in three of her nine races last year, and lost out by only a nose in an 18-runner contest at Fairyhouse in September; fair chance if she can run to that level on her first outing since a satisfactory Dundalk run in November.
