Very well bred (out of the smart bumper/hurdle winner Augusta Kate, herself a daughter of the unbeaten bumper and high-class 2m hurdle winner Feathard Lady) and she made a winning start in a fillies' race at Ballinrobe (yielding; 8-13) in August, getting up near the finish; that basic form is fair at best but she's in excellent hands and open to any amount of improvement.
