Joined Fergal O'Brien for £50,000 after winning an Irish point; positives to take from her bumper run at Warwick (2m, good to soft) when 8l off a useful winner but she was on the retreat when falling two out over C&D just before Christmas; bit to prove after that run.

Half-sister to useful Irish jumper No Flies On Him; won good-ground Irish point with a bit to spare in March 2024 and was bought for £50,000 a few weeks later; her rules debut comes after a long absence but she's still an interesting recruit for Fergal O'Brien.

Made shaky start to hurdling career during the winter but benefited from combination of drop in trip and switch to good ground when winning 2m Ludlow maiden by 4l last month; probably needs to improve again to overcome opening handicap mark but that's possible.

Distant third at Worcester (2m, good) in September probably the best of her qualifying runs; no impact when 33-1 for a Hereford handicap in October and came down at the first when back in maiden company a fortnight ago; it's still relatively early days but others are far more solid.
