Useful hurdler made controversial winning chase debut (appeared not to jump second fence according to the rules when diving left at it) at Killarney, outpaced early straight before rallying to win narrowly over 2m1f (Jesse Evans third after a late blunder); a contender but an extra furlong or two might suit her better in this sphere.
