Half-sister to the useful Landofhopeandglory; ran in two bumpers last winter; promising Punchestown debut, drawing well clear of the remainder when a staying-on second to a well-backed winner; reportedly failed to handle testing ground when pulled up at Gowran in race won by the stable with the well-regarded Betterdaysahead.
