Three-time winner over hurdles is 0-3 over fences; best effort to date in this sphere came on her latest start in a mares' beginners chase at Ballinrobe (23.5f, good) but she was still beaten 9.5l into fourth; makes her handicap chase debut off 119, 12lb lower than her rating over timber; interesting.
