After race at Bellewstown Thu, 31st Aug, 2017 (1st)

It was a brilliant ride and she's a real tough mare. She needs nice ground. I can't understand how the bookies never fancy her as she was second in Downpatrick off top weight to a good mare and the ground was very soft at the bottom of the hill. . She was beaten seven and a half lengths in a Galway Blazers on heavy ground that she hated, and she was second to a 140-rated horse in Tipperary in her second run back. Every day she comes out she will put up a good performance. Paul (Townend) said they were going flat out and he sat and waited. He knew she would come for him. . Ground depending there is a race for her in Ballinrobe - a valuable mares' handicap hurdle that I won with Kris Kindle before. She has to be under 123 and she is 118 now. He (the handicapper) might give her a pound or two for that. She is very versatile and easy to train. I contemplated putting her in foal but I thought she might earn more at this.

After race at Limerick Thu, 21st Jul, 2016 (1st)

She deserved that as she had a race taken off her in the Stewards' Room last year. Paul (Townend) gets on well with her.

Edmond Kent

After race at Cork Fri, 10th Jul, 2015 (1st)

she had the experience in maiden hurdles but they went pretty quick and I was further back than I wanted to be. She is improving though and did it nicely.

Edmond Kent

After race at Gowran Park Sat, 20th Jun, 2015 (1st)

She's tough and probably wants a bit further. She likes that ground, and will jump a fence in time
