Not a bad debut first effort when fifth of nine at Punchestown; can be rated a likely future winner on her Cork run three weeks ago, when she split two Ballydoyle-trained fillies; the third franked the form with a nursery win at Leopardstown on Saturday; cheekpieces fitted; faces a tough task against winners.
