However, as is now known she went to the Grade 1 Sefton Novices Hurdle at Aintree. Her progression had seen her jump 20lbs in the ratings in a few runs. She gained a listed victory at Doncaster, her sixth race of the season and it would have been understandable had connections brought her season to a close. If only we knew then what we know now, she was an unheralded 11-1! Next up was Cheltenham in October finishing sixth, Kelso, then Haydock followed building up strength and experience all the while and the versatility to handle any course.Īyr in February saw her return to the winners’ enclosure under 12 stone mixing it with the boys and making all for a very easy win. Back to Apple Away, she won her debut over hurdles in September 2022 at Bangor.
