Form & Verdict
Won Grade 3 novice hurdle at Tipperary in October before a third in a mares' novice hurdle at Down Royal a month later, both on soft; handles quicker ground over jumps and should be firmly in the mix if she transfers all her ability to this sphere; interesting that Patrick Mullins seemingly prefers her to Pink In The Park.
