Obviously Apple’s Jade didn’t fire on the day but I thought my mare put in as good a performance as she ever did in her life,.

I thought there was upset on the cards for a minute. Stormy Ireland ran a cracker and she was just getting away from Paul, he wasn't cruising past her like I thought he would,. Paul said to me that he felt the ground was drying up every minute and that she just wasn't relishing that ground. She got the job done. She didn't want to get down and gallop on it. It's just been an extraordinary dry winter, I know they've put a lot of water on it but you just can't replicate having a months rain. We'll see how she comes out of it. The French race comes up very quick but we'll see in the next week how she gets over that. We'll have to look at the French Champion Hurdle. She's done nothing all year so maybe a bit of hardship mightn't do her any harm at this stage of the game. There seems to be more prize-money for her over hurdles and I wouldn't go back chasing unless we got real winter ground next season. Unless there are real good prizes I don't think there is a necessity to risk her over fences. Stormy Ireland is so brave. She's so small, she's only about 15-3, and there's nothing of her but she has a heart as big as a lion. Hopefully she'll get a real good reward one of these days. She'll definitely go back to France, maybe the Prix la Barka or something like that will suit her.

She's as good as I thought she was. My aim all year was to win the mares' hurdle at Cheltenham and hopefully come back here and she has done both things properly. She's a real good mare. At home I thought after her first win she had the ability of Douvan, I wondered was she a female version of Douvan. I want to see what there is over fences for her, are there races for her over fences that I want to go for.I imagine that's her finished for the season. We could be tempted by France just as I said that. Probably not. I got a lot of relief this week after Wednesday - my team enjoy it more and my owners enjoy it more and probably our followers. To me it was just pure relief to get back to a challenging position after I thought the whole thing was over after Tuesday after the second-last race. You couldn't make up what happened after that.

She travelled nearly a bit too well but she's so quick over a fence. She was a bit keen there on the soft ground but it was just her class coming through. I was making ground everywhere and I couldn't really get her to come back,. She's a pleasure to ride and so easy to have anything to do with. She's so quick over a fence that she could do anything. She could come back jumping hurdles as she nearly jumps her fences like a hurdle.
