Won a mares' maiden at Cork (2m3f, good) in May and got to within 1.25l of Strong Link in a 20.5f Galway novice (good) on latest; 5lb swing gives her realistic prospects of turning that form around; big player if the track continues to dry out.

Beaten about 13l by Bambino Fever in a bumper but she won three of those, including a Grade 3 at Punchestown (yielding); no surprise to see her doing well over hurdles and the defeats have come in a Grade 3 at Down Royal (won by Full Of Life who dictated) and a Grade 1 at Leopardstown where she was left in second at the final flight behind smart gelding Skylight Hustle; she's back against her own sex here and rates solid each-way material.

A stablemate of Echoing Silence; strike-rate of 2-6 over hurdles wouldn't be in keeping with a typical winner of this race, and neither would the fact that she's already tried fences (0-2); however, she made all in a Grade 3 at Down Royal in late October (2m1f, good to yielding) and was determined in keeping Carrigmoornaspruce at bay; could run well.
