Had two subsequent winners behind when justifying favouritism at Galway on debut in August (2m1f, good) and solid runs in defeat in three outings since without really progressing, most recently making most when third to Belladaball (Wonderful Everyday second) in Fairyhouse mares' Listed contest early this month; looking exposed and hard to see her reversing that form on same terms.

Had two subsequent winners behind when justifying favouritism at Galway on debut in August (2m1f, good); stiffer task since in Listed mares' events on much softer ground, decent third at Gowran and front-running third to a warm favourite at Navan (second narrowly beaten in Grade 2 afterwards), racing a bit keen; entitled to be thereabouts, especially if settling better.
