She missed the break badly in Galway and, in hindsight, at a quick track like that she probably didn't have the speed to drop down in trip. Maybe at the likes of Navan in the winter she'd be okay back in trip. I saw this race and said we'd try her over two-six. I don't think they went very quick, though, so she's probably still a two-and-a-half mare with the boot she shows. I was contemplating going over fences but Frank (Berry) twisted my arm and said we'd keep her over hurdles for the time being. I'm delighted with her. She was a skinny, narrow, very light thing last year and really has rounded up and strengthened up. Four-year-old fillies can lose their way but she's really started to go the right way physically. We'll look for another hurdle for her.

I did say to him that his dad would have waited longer, it was a long final furlong!. I'm delighted for him and Conor and Audrey, it's a great day for them all. He probably kicked a small bit too soon and could maybe have kept the bit higher in her mouth for a furlong longer, to make it easier on everyone as the trainer gets a little worried in the last furlong, but it's not a criticism as it was a beautiful ride and he's a very good rider. I think she might have been in season the last day in Fairyhouse, so that would explain that. She just didn't operate at all and was like a lamb in the stable. She was kicking the house down when we were saddling her there, so we said we might be back in business. I think the extra two furlongs brought out a small bit of improvement as well. She got a lovely clean ride off a light weight. I think that ground is riding a bit drier than everybody thinks it is and it's important to be handy. We might have a look at something in Galway for her, she might have a small break now. I'll see what Frank (Berry) wants to do but she seems to handle this good ground quite well. I don't think she'll get into the Galway Hurdle and there is a nice two-and-a-half mile race there. We've had two wonderful days with her. James Rath, my head lad, bought her for small money so she's come a long way. She has already jumped a fence because she was supposed to run in a point-to-point. She showed plenty of gears so we said we'd go for a bumper.

I'm very pleased. She won her bumper here, in similar fashion,. It was probably about two furlongs too short for her but I thought the good gallop would help us. It was a big ask and I was afraid that Frank (Berry) was going to kill me for entering her in it. I knew 2lb was all about we could get away with running out of the handicap. She jumps very well now. When she started she was very awkward over her hurdles on her first couple of runs. She was very slow, a bit right and left. It came together on her last couple of runs. It's hard race to win, I said to Simon that she wanted a couple of furlongs further and if she was travelling well turning in to kick and go because she'll stay on really well to the line. She pinged the last and I'm thrilled.

my head lad James Rath bought her at the Landrover Sale and he's done most of the work with her. From her first bit of work she's always been super, went really well in her only schooling race and it's just been all good since day one. I really fancied her today and knew she'd handle a nice bit of ground. I'm just thrilled for the owners, James and Rachael Rath. I think she'll be sold and I'll try and hang on to her. She's a nice filly, jumps great and has a nice future.
