Best effort for Noel Kelly when second of 12 finishers (beaten favourite) over 2m4f at Fairyhouse in January; flopped when favourite at Ayr in March; justified good support when winning easily at Kilbeggan on first appearance for Gordon Elliott; raised by 9lb, but Josh Williamson's 5lb claim could help him to follow up.

Useful mare; went a bit high in the ratings after winning at Downpatrick last June; now back on a mark only one pound higher and holds a big chance in this company on the strength of her third placing in a 24-runner contest at the Punchestown festival.
