I said to the owner when she won here in January that we'd go for this novice handicap in Punchestown. She lost her way a bit then but the ground was too quick the last day at Fairyhouse. She loved that mud today. She fell at Thurles, then she didn't go left-handed at Naas where her jumping was appalling. She was spot on in the handicap and Robbie said he'd do the ten three though there was a lot of complaining from him with the light silks. She's like the dam and it's great for Dermot to have had a winner here and to have bred it. It means an awful lot to him. Mrs John Harrington, trainer
