There was a small entry so I rang Harry (Gettings, owner/breeder) to say I was going to stick her in. She was only back in the yard, from being out in the field, six weeks so it was a fair trial of her but she is a lively little thing and is able to gallop. Ray's 5lb claim helped and she was right at the weights so it is mighty. There is a three-mile Grade 3 novice hurdle here in three weeks so we'll probably go for that.

We're delighted. I said to Harry the last day that I had picked out this race and as she liked the track we said we'd take our chances,. Mike said she didn't travel great but she came home well, she's as tough as nails. She had won three point-to-points and to win a 30 grand handicap like this is brilliant. She won easy last time and you accept that the handicapper gave us 14lb, you take it on the chin and you make a plan afterwards. Luckily she slotted in nicely here, Mike's 5lb took her down the weights and it worked out. Obviously it won't be easy from now on but she has two races won and a big handicap so it's great. Harry is delighted as it's his second winner.

She had been banging away in maiden hurdles and Kevin Sexton, who is injured, said to me she wants better ground and Cloudings can stay well.
