Won all four starts for this yard, the latest two over fences; made a very good impression on chase debut at Limerick (2m6f, heavy), her bold jumping soon taking her to the front and virtually fault-free as she kept up a relentless gallop; more hit and miss next time at Thurles (2m4f, yielding) where she jumped right on occasions but still won unchallenged from a subsequent Listed winner; has a query about going left-handed after that but she does look a powerhouse.

A 9yo who is in her third season of chasing but has improved this winter and a clearcut win over Zambella at Huntingdon in January (2m4f, good to soft; also acts well on soft) showed her in a good light; the likely good pace will suit and she has a better chance than most.
