Finished 4l behind Rosso at Leopardstown though that rival is officially 6lb inferior

Finished 4l in front of favourite Ephesus at Leopardstown, not guaranteed to uphold form

Plenty of promise in her debut run behind a useful filly in the same colours, form boosted

May struggle to reverse course form with fourth-placed Rosso who has run well since

Got upset in the stalls at Cork, likely to be capable of better, tried with a tongue-tie

Has made the frame in two 1m maidens, improvement feasible over this trip, cheekpieces on
10 (5)	Ice Opera Grey J:Robbie Colgan T:Ms Sheila Lavery	J:Robbie Colgan T:Ms Sheila Lavery	129	h	95	-	77	48	14d	—	—	-2	0.6	40/1 2%
Limerick fifth was step in the right direction but probably needs to get a handicap mark
9 (1)	Valjean Bay J:N G McCullagh T:Charles Weld	J:N G McCullagh T:Charles Weld	134	—	7	-	43	19	92d	—	—	-1	0.3	100/1 1%
