We would have been disappointed if she didn’t do that. She’s special to us as we don’t have anything in the yard like her. She’ll go to Leopardstown at Christmas and is definitely better around there than any other track in the country. There is a novice handicap and a mares' race and she will be entered in both. She is due to get a break at some stage before going back on the Flat and is very versatile ground wise.

I'm delighted and a bit in shock to be honest,. Fergal Harford that's involved with me, and does all the pre-training, has a share in her and he was keen to go for this race so I have to give most of the credit to him. . I thought she might be a little bit outclassed but he's been very keen to run her in a good race with a light weight. . She loves it here and has been second a couple of times this year. It's all worked out on the day. . Julian got some lovely splits and she was brave. Everyone that has rode her has said that she has the heart of a lion, she showed it there today. . It's massive for us to win a premier handicap with a small string, it means a lot.

She ran very well on slow ground here as a two-year-old. I'd say the race just panned out lovely, they went a good gallop. I was watching them going down the back and they were going 32/33 the whole way down the back, so I kind of knew they were going to come back. That's what she loves. She has been running brilliant races probably in races that the pace wasn't collapsing in front. She takes a while to warm up, but she needs the pace to collapse in front of her. I ran her over 1m4f last year and she probably wasn't strong enough for it. She looks like she wants it now, she is after strengthening up. Listen, over hurdles I still think there is a good day in her. She's a great old mare and if I had a few more like her.

That is unexpected as I thought she'd need the run. I think Sean taking the 10lb off was the winning of it and it was a serious ride for a 10lb claimer. They went hard, he came with one run and it was a brilliant ride. Sean rode her once at Dundalk in the past and, while you're under pressure all the time to put up the top lads, Sean has been riding work for me on two-year-olds all year and is a big help. She was dropping back in trip and I knew she'd hit the line well but it's a slight bit of a shock she has won. She was a cheap purchase, has now won four times and is a little star. I'm pretty confident she will win over hurdles too. I'm based in Shercock, Co Cavan, it took four hours yesterday to come down and we stayed over last night. The owner Philip 'Nixys' Clarke owns my local bar in Bailieborough and is a big supporter of mine. I have six or seven in training.

She’s been unlucky a few times, including under this young lad, but we stuck with him and I’m delighted for him as well. He’s a brilliant young kid and he was excellent on her there, got all the gaps and produced her on the line. He was good on her the last day as well (when hampered at Leopardstown) because he just coasted home when he knew the race was over and he told us to go again with her. She’s only small. We bought her with the idea of maybe going three-year-old hurdling and she has schooled over hurdles already so we’ll see. The horses are all running well and we had one that was only beaten five lengths in a bumper last week. Once they’re healthy and well I’m happy and we’ll keep tipping away with them.

She probably left it a bit late in Sligo the last day but finished well there. I thought that was a better class Nursery today. It took her a little while to get it together in maidens and was coming away slow. It’s great to see her doing it now. I’m not sure where we will go next but I think she will stay further. She’s only small but she has plenty of heart.
