Made virtually all when easily landing Ballinrobe claimer (9.5f, yielding; claimed for 15,000euros) for Ken Condon in June; handicapper was evidently watching so interesting to see what she makes of this career-high mark; one of two for Gerard O'Leary.

Best of eight Flat runs came in a 1m3f handicap here in May (good) when a close third; below that level twice since; rated 62 on Flat, so may get involved on hurdling/stable debut.

Recent 1m3f Killarney handicap (first-time visor) third to Femme Beauty a definite step in the right direction; one to consider from a yard hitting form.

Failed to win in 11 starts for Mick Mulvany; not a bad run off 47 at Gowran on latest but poorly treated by these race conditions and probably best watched on debut for new trainer; cheekpieces on.
