She will probably like a bit better ground and a longer trip. Her family is all staying pedigrees. She had to stay well enough there. Her jumping is good and she was always getting a breather at her fences. She was passing horses and Paul was able to sit and take a hold. It is good to get her back and get a good run over fences.

Patricia (owner Patricia Duffin) bred her and she is half-sister to Fine Rightly so it is great for the family. She will probably go to Thurles (for the Grade 2 Mares Novice Chase on January 16th) next if she comes out of this okay. S R B Crawford, trainer
