Sixth foal; half-sister to useful bumper and 2m6f/2m7f hurdle winner Minella Rescue; dam 2m4f chase/2m5f hurdle winner, half-sister to 2m-2m6f hurdle winner Harrycat, out of 1m winner; Eur10,000 3yo is by a leading sire and won't have to be a star to win this on debut but the market can be a guide.
