Placed four times from ten starts up to this trip; can be forgiven last week's moderate sixth at Bellewstown, since she almost lost her footing when slipping on the bend half a mile out; was one of the main fancies for that race, in which Tax Me Later was third at 40-1.

Fairly useful, consistent level of form in five starts, notably when second in 7f maidens at Galway and most recently at Down Royal; in between not quite so effective when second to a ready winner here over 6f; needs to settle better than of late but should again be in the mix.
