Commentary

Knocking on the door behind fairly useful types before going one better at Tramore in May. Below that form in a couple of stronger events outside of maiden company since, however, she's been found a good opportunity by her excellent Irish yard (successful with both runners here earlier this month).

What the class read says

Stepping up in grade without clear higher-class evidence yet. Not automatically a negative, especially for a lightly-raced or progressive type. Its recent finishes fall short of what its mark implies — the rating may flatter it.
