Kept on well to win a point at Ballyraggett prior to her sale for £200,000 at Aintree in April; half-sister to 2m-3m hurdle winner Gotthenod; dam 2m3f-2m6f hurdle/chase winner; pedigree suggests she might ultimately want further but this isn't a deep race and her yard have an excellent strike-rate in bumpers, particularly this season (30-98).
