Dam of no account in France, but noteworthy as half-sister to the brilliant Quevega; best of three runs in points when second at Borris House in March; finished in front of the shorter-priced Cinammon Roll in his first bumper at Tipperary; Patrick Mullins aboard then, now partnered by a 7lb claimer who has ridden two winners in recent months.
