Very likeable debut when a keeping-on fifth behind none other than Diamond Necklace in a 7f good-ground maiden at the Curragh last August and perhaps the soft ground found her out next time; brings potential into her second season; market useful.

Sole win came over C&D last year off 4lb lower; several decent efforts in defeat since including at Limerick last time though looked a bit awkward under pressure then; still, unlikely to be far away.
