She went 2nd in the last 100 yards but couldn't reach the winner Unless who came home by 1 3/4 lengths.
Another Irish racing week begins with 7 races at Ballinrobe on Monday night where there are 2 main events.
7.20: Burleigh Accountancy Handicap Hurdle.
9: The Abbey: A horse with a good recent record picking up his latest win at Limerick in May leading entering the straight drawing clear and easily coming home by 6 1/2 lengths. He was a respectable 9th in a handicap chase at Uttoxeter on his last outing 43 days ago and is the pick here on his hurdles return.
7.50: Connolly's Red Mills Irish EBF Auction Maiden Hurdle.
9: Sea Music: Ran well when 3rd in a bumper at Galway on debut 11 days ago. He led at halfway but was passed in the straight dropping to 3rd inside the final furlong. He goes up in trip here which should suit and he can make his first hurdles start a winning one.
