Bumper winner on debut in March 2022 and gained her first hurdle win when recording an RPR of 127 in a Downpatrick maiden hurdle on her penultimate outing; clearly too bad to be true at Kilbeggan when last seen; interesting recruit to chasing and market may be best guide on return from 160 days off.
