HHHH Well-backed favourite when going close on handicap debut at the Curragh (1m, good); travelled well in rear and stayed on strongly, so this big-field scenario could be right up her street; trainer won this in 2021 with Create Belief who contested that same Curragh handicap (won); on the shortlist.

HHHH Won 7f good-ground maiden last July on the first of three 2yo starts and showed improved form when landing fillies’ conditions race at Killarney (1m, good to yielding) on reappearance; judged on that latest evidence she could be starting handicap life on an advantageous mark.
