AW maiden winner; best runs this term when placed over this trip at both the Curragh and Limerick; increasingly slow starts hampering her prospects, never recovering at Roscommon latest; worth treating with degree of caution.

Not the easiest to win with, as record of 1-24 on turf illustrates; however, is now 2lb below that sole success and not beaten far in fillies' handicaps over C&D on penultimate or at Limerick on latest; place chance.

Six AW wins but 1-29 on turf; two solid 7f efforts in defeat this summer, but balance of recent form makes him opposable.

Behind Indigo Dream and Little Empire at the Curragh in June (7f, good); good third at Fairyhouse next time (7f, good) but her form has taken a nosedive in two runs since then; needs to get back on track but the jockey booking is interesting.
