A high-class juvenile last season and an encouraging third on her return to action in Leopardstown’s Derrinstown Guineas Trial, the daughter of Hurricane Run was quietly fancied for the Curragh Classic but beat only one home.

Fahy now plans to step her up in trip, with the Cork Oaks Trial a potential target.
