I thought if she handled the track the hill finish would play to her strengths. She's a strong finisher. Very versatile, Flat or jumps. She tries which is a big thing with a horse. When you have a horse that tries, you have a big chance with one. Good ground and the stiff finish definitely helped as well. I think over further she will be better again. She'll get a rest now after that. I have five or six in Killarney this week - a few nice ones hopefully. When they are running well, we will keep them going and hopefully get another winner or two out of it.

It's my first double, we've had a few chances for doubles before but they never came off, so I'm delighted to get it. I thought this trip would definitely suit her because in all her races she just seems to stay. She stays a mile and a half, mile and six on the Flat so I was confident she'd stay this trip and I think she can win again over it. She'll probably go back to the Flat again and we'll mix it with her.

Maybe she has run one bad race. She has never had luck - if you look back, she has been stopped, turned over and been really unlucky. She well deserved that. I'm delighted for the syndicate because I know they were getting a bit despondent. I've never seen a horse with such bad luck and then I saw the draw, 11!. Wayne just said she didn't jump that great and wasn't really travelling so he took his medicine, went up the inside, bided his time and the more she went the better she started to go. Then he had to take a pull down the far bend when it got tight. I'm delighted how she finished out. . I'd say she will be claimed now and I think they are fine with that. Hopefully they will go again with a two-year-old. Job done.
