After race at Galway Tue, 5th Oct, 2021 (1st) 
That is fantastic. We were worried about the ground and the weight but in parts, the horses weren't going into it much and the race panned out perfectly for her. She jumped so well and Jordan's five pound claim is a big help as he is a fantastic rider. He kept everything simple. She is a brilliant servant to have in the yard and we'll have to look at something bigger now as we're in bonus territory. She will be covered next spring and hasn't got black-type yet so we will probably look for that - we have nothing to lose now by throwing her into something bigger.

After race at Tramore Sat, 25th Jul, 2020 (1st)
The distance was a little bit short for her and the ground was a little bit faster than we thought. She jumped herself into that position and when she got out in front she wanted to stay there. I'm very pleased with her and with Conor (Orr) too. We find it hard to find the right race for her because really two mile two would suit her. Today was planned and it worked. She might come back here next month, she likes it around here, she is a good battler up the hill. We asked Conor to sit in second or third but they weren't going fast enough in front so he got the opportunity to go out in front and dictate it and that suited her really well. She's not good at sprinting at the end, but she is very honest and a great jumper.

She deserved that and had two lovely runs so she knew what she was doing today. Hopefully the handicapper won’t be too hard on her and she should win a few over fences.
