C&D winner last April has also won twice on turf; ran with credit over the extended 1m2f and 2m on her first two starts of 2026; reacted well to the fitting of a tongue-tie when Nicola Burns rode her for the first time here last Friday; appeared to have plenty to spare when beating Voice Of Reason; may follow up off 7lb higher.

Dual-purpose sort is 1-10 on Flat turf; won on the AW at Dundalk (1m4f) off 3lb lower in January and ran well at that venue following that; well beaten back on turf at Gowran 11 days ago (1m4f, yielding); suspicion he's not as effective on this surface.
