Form & Verdict
Beat Navy Waters in her maiden and was clear of the rest when just failing to reel in an improving filly at Ballinrobe (1m5f, yielding); a 4lb rise shouldn't be too damaging to her prospects; tongue-tie added.

Tremendously progressive last year when her three wins included the Group 3 Give Thanks Stakes over C&D last August; raced keenly when not at her best over 1m6f next time; should be a big player on seasonal debut despite carrying a 5lb penalty.

Won a 9.6f maiden at Ballinrobe, 11.4f handicap at Killarney (yielding to soft) and 1m4f Group 3 at Cork on three of her last four outings; tongue tied for last two, when battling her way to the front late on and that looks encouraging for this longer trip, as did her close, running-on second in a 1m5f handicap; needs further improvement but it may be possible.

Juvenile promise and steadily getting her act together this season, winning Ballinrobe maiden and got the better of a three-way photo on latest under top-weight in 1m4f Killarney fillies' handicap last month in a first-time tongue-tie, finding plenty for pressure; needs to step up a fair bit on that form to play a major role here.
