Progressive in handicaps in the first half of last season, gaining a third handicap success in 2m4f Clonmel mares' event in October; back to her best in first-time cheekpieces in 2m1f Limerick Grade 3 early this month, staying on for third behind two much higher-rated rivals; dam has already produced a couple of winning chasers so quite possible she could improve for the switch to fences.
