The five-year-old, in fact, won all her first three bumpers last winter, going on to finish fourth in a good Grade 2 contest in that discipline at last year's Grand National meeting.
She clearly stays well, as evidence by her sole Flat success to date. That came over 1m6f on Newmarket's July course last August, in a Class 2 fillies' handicap.
She proved that was no fluke by going to Doncaster next time and was not disgraced when fourth in the Group 2 Park Hill Stakes won by Free Wind, albeit beaten over nine lengths.
Keen to enhance her potential broodmare value by securing some black type on the level, Sly is looking forward to getting Eileendover back on the track - potentially starting off at Nottingham on April 6.
The trainer said: "Eileendover started cantering on Friday. She just did the one (canter), Jack Andrews rode her and said 'this is different class!'.
She's going to stay on the Flat, I think - I don't think we'll be going jumping.
"I'm looking at the Further Flight at Nottingham at the beginning of April. I just want to get a bit of black type from the Flat on her.
"She's probably grown a bit over the winter."
Given that she has won under both codes and has also won on heavy, soft and good to firm, she is certainly a versatile performer, another factor that will do no harm when she eventually becomes more a part of the bloodstock, than racing, world.
The Further Flight Stakes is also Listed and over a trip of 1m6f. The race was named after the former Barry Hills-trained stayer who won the race in both 1996 and 1998.
Along with the Hughie Morrison-trained Alcazar (2003 and 2004), they are the only two horses to have won the race twice.
