Dual-purpose mare; shaped very nicely on last start in this sphere at Leopardstown in April (1m, good to yielding) when a 0.75l second of 20; sole win on the level came at this trip; chance.

Decent record over hurdles, winning two and placing in two more out of eight runs; latest win came at Galway (2m1f, good) in July off 8lb lower when aided by a strong pace to help her settle; off since then before returning with a cracking run on the Flat at Leopardstown six days ago when running on well for second on good to yielding ground; key player.

Flat strike rate of 1-29 is a worry; however, her hurdles form shows that she has plenty of ability; won a competitive mares' handicap hurdle at the Galway festival on her final 2025 outing; hooded for the first time.
