She was very impressive. On that performance I think she looks a Triumph horse but she could go for the mares' novice also. At the moment I’d be looking at the Triumph as we don’t have too many in that department. That’s where I’d be trying to put her anyway. We think she’ll improve hugely. She was very, very green in all the schooling we did with her at home. We got a nice lead in the race the whole away until the last when she was in front. I just said to Ruby 'make up your own mind after you turn in, if you are lucky enough to be in a position, whether you try and go on at the last or get a lead over it'. He did what he did and she did it well. She had been very, very green at home and is learning at the time. I think she’ll get better. W P Mullins, trainer
