Generally consistent filly; won for a second time at Leopardstown in April (7f, yld-sft); almost added to her tally over 6f (good) here on latest when denied by a head; the step back up to 7f is fine and ground versatile so she has to enter calculations off just 2lb higher.

9st 13lb

T: Ciaran Murphy

Won twice last season, both at Leopardstown over 7f on good and soft; remains 9lb above her last win and she ran poorly on her seasonal return last month; yard form a plus.

Form & Verdict
Some good runner-up finishes in maidens and was beaten just 1l at Naas for her handicap debut last month (7f, soft), led before being run down into third late on; runs off the same mark now and Colin Keane takes over; big player.

0-7 on turf but has races in her; placed on handicap debut and seasonal return at Naas off 5lb higher (7f, soft); below best twice since, however, and faster ground a concern here (unraced on quicker than yielding).

Lightly-raced filly; second twice in maidens and made a bright start in handicaps when third of 12 over 7f at Naas in March; something seemingly amiss when favourite here in April, though vet's report revealed nothing; may bounce back now.
