Sound efforts in first two handicaps and held every chance when falling at the last at Thurles in October (22.5f, gd-yld); below best the last twice but could rebound dropped in trip and returned to better ground; cheekpieces on.

Lightly raced mare took a step forward on return when clear second over 2m7f at Clonmel (yielding) in October; fortnight later held every chance when faller at last in Thurles mares' handicap, not so strong at the finish on softer ground at Tramore latest; return to better ground to suit.

Lightly raced mare took a step forward on return to action last month, appreciating step up in trip in finishing a clear second over 2m7f at Clonmel (yielding); fortnight later held every chance when faller at last in Thurles mares' handicap; improving mare probably still on a nice mark and one for the shortlist.

Lightly raced mare took a step forward on return to action a fortnight ago, appreciating step up in trip when finishing a clear second to Sallap over this trip; 4lb rise seems okay .

Showed little in three maidens but showed slight improvement to take fourth of 17 on handicap debut at Limerick in April (2m3f, good); that form has taken some knocks and needs to improve all the same.
