Went close in a 1m maiden at Navan on the third of five starts last season; ended the campaign with less encouraging runs at Dundalk and Naas; a revelation on reappearance at Ballinrobe, winning very easily from an 85-rated favourite; a one-pound rise to 76 appears surprisingly lenient; if accurate, she will need to take a big forward step to hold her own in this company.
