She raced six times on the all-weather at Dundalk without success and twice on turf on good ground. Her last run at Dundalk in Dec 2024 saw her finish 10 of 14 in a handicap off an official rating of 47, which was 8lb below her highest ever mark.

KTB Speed and Rating
Best recent Speed 71
How fast the horse ran, as points against the day-corrected standard time for its course and distance: 100 is the median GB Class 4 handicap winner on that code; one point is 0.1% of the standard time. A, B or C is how much the day's card could tell us, not how good the run was. What this means →
