Touched off at this venue on her only start at two; beaten favourite on her reappearance last spring; made amends on the second of two starts in the autumn, stuck to her task (despite hanging to the right) to land a heavy-ground maiden over a bit shorter than this at Gowran; fair chance she can pay her way in handicaps this season.

Sea The Stars filly; produced an RPR of 84 when just missing out at Leopardstown last October (7f, soft) and didn't get the clearest of runs when made favourite for her comeback race at Naas (1m, good); clearly open to improvement, especially at this trip.
