It was her first time over the trip and on a dry surface. She’s like a lot of them she’s been handicapped on soft ground, and we were hoping the dryer ground would work in her favour. She was racing lazy early and got a bit detached. I said to Neve to try and get her home over the trip and don’t go after her until you get over the top of the hill. In fairness, she got her going in time and she came home nicely. She hit the line strong. She’s home bred by the brother Mick and he’s away with all the family in Salou, so I dare say there will be some strong stuff drank over there tonight!. Her dam won over hurdles and you would think up in trip won’t be a problem. She’s still green and a bit raw. Jarlath P Fahey, trainer
