Cheekpieces added for her last three races; it wasn't pretty when making hard work of justifying short odds in a Leopardstown maiden for mares in early March (2m5f, soft) but her heart seems in the right place and should run well again.

Bumper winner last autumn got off the mark over hurdles in a Fairyhouse maiden last time on fourth start in this sphere; the cheekpieces worn then are retained but she has to do more in this grade.

Debut bumper winner at Galway last October; placed in all three maiden hurdles, including twice at this track (2m-2m2f); down in trip again after finishing second to a Gordon Elliott-trained odds-on chance over 2m5f at Leopardstown; cheekpieces and tongue-tie fitted now; capable of getting in the mix.
