Runner-up in the 2024 Triumph Hurdle and won last year's County; has quickly reached a similar level over fences, winning a beginners' event at Leopardstown (2m1f, yielding) just after Christmas and going down to the high-class Romeo Coolio in Grade 1 over the same C&D (soft) only after a titanic tussle and a final-fence blunder; should be in the thick of things again if fully recovered from those exertions.

Dual Grade 1 winner as a juvenile hurdler; won last year's County Hurdle; jumping technique left plenty to be desired on her chase debut at Cork (soft), beaten 16l by Romeo Coolio's stablemate Kala Conti; jumped better when winning unextended from the front in a C&D event (yielding) marred by a fatal injury to the pursuing James's Gate.

Dual Grade 1 winner over hurdles and added last year's County Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival; came up well short when a shade of odds-on for her recent chase debut at Cork (soft) but the winner Kala Conti is a smart mare; should have learned from that experience and will be hard to beat in receipt of weight from her male rivals.
