Won on 2yo debut for Karl Burke but failed to win again, albeit some decent runs; solid efforts in defeat all starts for this yard including twice denied by Rion Rubette at Gowran; one for the shortlist.

Some useful form in Britain for Karl Burke; good stable debut when runner-up in course handicap (1m, soft) and improved when filling the same spot behind Rion Rubette over C&D (soft) next time; faced a tall task in Listed grade at Naas on latest; front-runner is well drawn to attack.

Some useful form in Britain for Karl Burke before being bought by current connections for 30,000gns; made a good stable debut when a runner-up in a Gowran handicap and improved when filling the same spot dropped to 7f back there next time; those runs were on soft, while her British form is on good, so could improve, but this is a tall task; Greek Mythology is stable first-string.

Struggled on first three starts for this yard last autumn but back to form with a bang when accounting for the reopposing Jonny Concrete and 11 others at Hamilton (6f, good) last Sunday; only scraped home by a short head so she may struggle to confirm that narrow superiority over Iain Jardine's charge on the revised terms.

Unexposed filly who ran a fine race over 7f here on her 2yo debut; didn't feature in two handicap runs last autumn but the ground was soft on both occasions and there were other mitigating factors too (6f too sharp at Hamilton and poor draw at Pontefract); too soon to write her off and drying ground would be beneficial.
