"I think she is very good," said Gavin Cromwell, and who could argue with him after his Lady Ischia impressively landed the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares (Pro/Am) INH Flat Race at Naas.

"She ran well on her debut at Punchestown and she wants very soft ground. She will probably go for the Listed bumper in Navan (November 26)," elaborated Cromwell.
"She will come on from that run and she jumps brilliant. She won't hang around in bumpers too long but she's entitled to have a go at a Listed bumper."
