Plenty of ability but has two ways of running; at her best when winning a competitive 1m heat at Gowran in June, much less so off a 7lb higher mark at Leopardstown 17 days later

Showed very little in 12 starts before improving to land a Gowran handicap at 50-1, beating Queen Aethelflaed by 2.25l; beaten 4l in sixth when that rival reversed the form at the same venue last week.
