Top of the pops last season in bumpers, beating the boys in the big one here (good to soft) before making it 4-4 in that sphere at Punchestown where her customary turbo kicked in when it mattered; her stable was quiet when she was surprisingly floored by Oldschool Outlaw on her hurdling debut and she then made no mistake from the front at Fairyhouse (2m2f, yielding) where her jumping was quick and accurate; tongue-tie is added; only six and she's probably still progressing; proven on the track, she'll take some beating.
