Half-sister to seven winners, notably same yard's high-class bumper winner and 2m-2m5f hurdle/chase winner Ballyburn; cost 92,000euros as a 3yo; too keen, soundly beaten on debut in Fairyhouse fillies' bumper in December; switches to hurdles now.

Took keen hold - midfield - headway before 2 out - weakened before last(op 5/2 tchd 11/4)
Failed to land a blow on debut at Thurles in December; more encouraging hurdles debut this month, staying on late after some novicey jumping when remote fourth in 2m3f Cork mares' maiden (yielding); more needed.

Towards rear - dropped to last before 5th - weakened after 3 out
Initial promise in maiden hurdles but hasn't progressed, well held on handicap debut last month; looking exposed but can't be ruled out in an ordinary maiden.

Towards rear - not fluent 8th - headway before 2 out - weakened after last(op 9/1 tchd 13/2)
Half-sister to four winners inc Isabella Bee (2m-2m3f hurdle/chase), Diamond Koda (2m3f hurdle) and Fleur De La Roque (French 2m1f hurdle); dam useful 1m4f Flat/2m1f hurdle winner; 80-1, behind throughout on debut here last month in fillies' bumper; can only be watched now switched to hurdles.
Decent efforts in maiden hurdles, notably place claims when unseating at the last over this trip at Leopardstown and most recently staying on second in 2m4f Navan maiden last month (soft); return to this trip to suit and leading claims in an ordinary maiden.

In touch with leaders - ridden and headway and pressed leader before 2 out - led inside final 110yds - kept on(op 6/5)
In rear but in touch with leaders - headway and prominent after 2 out - soon switched right and ridden - went second towards finish - no match for winner(op 4/1)
160,000euros 3yo; half-sister to four winners inc Yala Enki (high-class 2m1f-3m4f hurdle/chase); dam French maiden jumper; second favourite, reportedly lame when soundly beaten on debut in good-class 2m3f Punchestown mares' bumper in December 2024; respected if strong in the market on hurdles debut.

Sister to a bumper winner and from the family of smart staying chaser Tullymurry Toff; not without market support but pulled up in a Bartlemy point-to-point in May last year; market likely best guide on rules debut.

Third foal; dam bumper/2m4f hurdle winner, sister to 3m1f chase winner Kalabaloo; 20-1, promising debut in 2m Gowran mares' maiden last month, staying-on third of 10 behind an odds-on shot (heavy); step up in trip here could suit and could well improve enough to feature.
