Won over hurdles at Clonmel in December (heavy) and little of note until staying-on second over 2m3f at Kilbeggan last month (good to yielding); only a fair sixth at Clonmel last week; can be a tricky ride but top claimer aboard.

2 Dec 2025·William Hill Each Way Extra Challenge Series Handicap Hurdle · Clonmel
Finnicky Filly is a little bit tricky, but she is a cracking filly. I leased her to a bunch of lads and I wouldn't blame them for getting tired of her. So I had to take her back. I am delighted that she won. She's from a great family. Voy Por Ustedes is the brother to the dam and Piccolo Player is very good as well and is a half-brother. She'll be way better over fences. She is difficult to train and difficult to mind, but we have great patience and we give them every chance. She is a proper filly and deserved her win - John Ryan, trainer.
