Took runner-up spot at Kilbeggan on second hurdle start (2m1f, yielding) and caught the eye of the stewarsd at last year's festival here ; tailed off at Naas in November and pulled up at Cork (2m4f, soft to heavy) on handicap bow; this is weak, so she's in the mix, but others preferred.

Took runner-up spot at Kilbeggan in second maiden hurdle start and inquiry held into running and riding of her fifth-placed finish in a Punchestown festival novice hurdle when she stayed on from the rear but was ultimately beaten over 25l at 80-1; finished a distant sixth in a Naas maiden hurdle last time when keeping on again (soft-heavy); check market for handicap debut up in trip.

Built on a moderate Galway debut to finish a distant second at Killarney last year; stewards enquired into the running and riding of her fifth-placed finish in a Punchestown festival novice hurdle when she stayed on from the back but was ultimately beaten over 25l at 80-1; Mark Walsh takes the reins now, so worth a look.

towards rear, stayed on approaching last, never dangerous (stewards enquired into the running and riding; jockey said that his instructions were to settle his mount in the second half of the field, get her jumping and to ride her to come home; he also said that his mount was flat out most of the way and was only staying on past beaten horses; trainer confirmed the instructions and expressed his satisfaction with the ride; stewards also received a report from the vet who reported the animal to be post race normal; samples were taken for analysis; the stewards noted the explanations given)

Dam useful bumper/hurdles winner, half-sister to the talented Regal Encore; in good hands but needs to jump better than on introduction at Galway last month.
