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.

No win since June 2024 at this course (7f); third to Amemri in this race last year; standout effort last term a fine second in premier fillies' handicap at Leopardstown (1m, good to yielding); best run of the season at that venue eight days ago (1m1f, soft; Spanish Temptress fourth) when a staying-on third after a slow start; player.

Nine wins in all, but only one on turf from 32 starts; led when third over 7f at Fairyhouse last week, and that's probably his optimum trip on turf, rather than the stiff mile here; unplaced all four runs here, too.
