Verdict
Fair on the Flat (stays 1¼m) when with Jedd O'Keeffe. Very low-key efforts in 4 starts on the level for present yard but did show more than on hurdles bow when fourth of 6 in a C&D novice 18 days ago. However, low-grade handicaps will be more her thing moving forward.

Regressive on the Flat in Ireland but did manage to match her previous best in this sphere (modest form) when third in 7-runner maiden at Stratford (16.3f) 4 weeks ago. Probably set for a minor role again.
