she's very tough but Sean said she was leaning a bit to her left. We've always liked her although she is not the most straightforward to keep right; she had a slight issue with her wind after Listowel which we got sorted and while we were planning to go to Fairyhouse over two and a half miles, she came right so we decided to come here instead.

The Stewards enquired into possible interference from the last hurdle involving Dantes Firth, ridden by R. Loughran, placed second and Railway Zira, ridden by S.W. Flanagan, placed first. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards made no alteration to the judges placings and took no further action. Owing to the low lying sun, the Stewards granted permission for the fourth last hurdle to be omitted for the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh races.
