"My favourite memory of her was when she landed running at the back of the last in the Champion Hurdle," Mullins told Press Association Sport. "After what had happened the year before I was able to enjoy her running up the hill on her own.
"She might have achieved a higher figure at Aintree, and in beating My Tent Or Yours so much easier there you could argue that was her best display, but just with everything that goes with Cheltenham I'd have been disappointed if we didn't win one with her.
"At the beginning I bought her for fences, believe it or not, so if I've one regret it's that we never saw her jump a fence because I think she'd have been brilliant.
"She had so much size and scope about her it was always in my mind - but the Champion Hurdle has to be the highlight."
When asked if Mullins would like to train one of her offspring, he said: "I'm just happy to have her in this instance, but of course I'm as curious as everyone else will be to find out how good a broodmare she will become."
A trip to France had been mooted along with the possibility of a run on the Flat, but Mullins had reported for some time that her old sparkle was missing on the gallops.
