The filly will continue to be monitored closely, although Hills reports her to have improved on Monday after she was found to be lame after a routine exercise on Saturday.

Kiyoshi scanned fine after X-rays, but the next 48 hours are likely to tell Hills if he can prepare her for the Curragh on May 25.
