Maiden was touched off over C&D on last year's card, and some good efforts on soft or heavy ground in the autumn; form not as good this term and was too keen in cheekpieces when beaten 7l by Deluca Chop at Navan last time.

Some promise in maidens but has been diappointing in handicaps; badly hampered at Limerick last time but so too was the rest of the field; the step up in trip has to elicit improvement.

Didn't show a lot in maidens but built on positive handicap debut at Ballinrobe to score back there on her penultimate start (1m1f, good to yielding) with subsequent winners in behind; well supported but couldn't follow up raised in trip at Sligo last time (1m5f, good to yielding); this looks more her trip and she is a big danger.
