Easy winner of 1m4f AW maiden just before Christmas 2024; did not appear in 2025; soft ground was probably against her on recent comeback at Sligo, eased after her chance had gone.

Easy winner of 1m4f AW maiden just before Christmas 2024, but not seen since; could be on a fair mark and trainer does well here, but stiff task all the same on turf/handicap debut.

One win from four starts on the level in France, staying on well to make all when last seen in November; bought for 20,000euros since and interesting recruit for this yard but possibly more of a long term project.
