She's a great honest mare. She's been to every dog fight and she deserved that. She has been placed around Cheltenham and placed in numerous graded races so it's nice she got her day in the sun. It's great for Caren and Aidan Walsh, who are great supporters of the yard, and for Johnny Lightfoot who owns her as well. That was a brilliant pot. She's got a good pedigree so she's a valuable broodmare as well. Davy gave her a good ride as well. He was probably lucky he got the split up the inside.

I thought she would do that the last day but thankfully she’s got her head in front today. She’ll go now for the Mares Novice Hurdle (at Cheltenham). She’s got good bumper form and has some experience now so she’ll be okay.

She would have learned loads from the first day when she was very green and Lisa said today it did her no harm that things got a bit messy because she was able to get a lead into the straight. I'd say they are two good fillies and they pulled ten lengths away from the third. Gordon reckons if she is ok after this that she'll go for the €100,000 bumper in Fairyhouse at the Easter festival. She'll then go out on her summer holidays before going hurdling next season.
