Half-sister to several winners, notably high-class hurdler/chaser up to 3m4f Yala Enki; returned from lengthy absence to finish a clear second in 2m6f Limerick mares' maiden hurdle in April (soft) before contesting bumpers on better ground, chasing home an all-the-way winner in 2m2f Downpatrick mares' contest, not so good over 2m4f at Wexford; this looks a fine opportunity (Jack Kennedy's only ride on the card).

Started 11/4 but tailed odd in a bumper on debut in 2024; found to be lame afterwards; second in a 2m5f Limerick maiden hurdle on return from 471 days away; quicker ground today and down in trip but a repeat of that will make her a big player back in this sphere.

With her third trainer, first run for him when 40-1 and well beaten at Kempton (2m, AW) this month; overall scores are 0-8 on Flat and 0-5 over hurdles, and clearly her best Flat effort was over 2m1f last September in a first-time visor; 6lb lower today but others are still preferred.
