After race at Kilbeggan Sun, 6th Jun, 2021 (1st)

She is the old pedigree of Buck House and Doorknocker who won the Champion Hurdle. There is not much of that pedigree left. She won on soft ground in Ballinrobe and good ground today. She had problems as a four and five-year-old and lucky enough a vet in Kildorrery, Conor O’Brien, solved them and she’s won three since.
