PRESENTING Mahler teed herself up for a tilt at Grade 3 company this weekend when upsetting hot-favourite Retour En France in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Beginners Chase at Sligo.

Just as she had been on her Irish debut, when turned over by stablemate Airlie Beach over timber at Galway, Retour En France was sent off at odds-on and made her own running in the hands of Ruby Walsh.
