Only two wins from 33 starts; has occasionally run well in good company, notably when second in a premier handicap at last year's Irish Champions meeting at Leopardstown; down the field in the same race this season; now 19lb below her career-high mark, might not be a lost cause.

Has a poor strike rate (2-26); however, worth recalling that she finished second (behind Pink Oxalis) when a 40-1 chance in this race 12 months ago; fair form this season; yard emerging from a quiet spell; lively outsider potentially.
