It's hard to fancy one off the back of a fall, especially the fall she had. It took a week to get her confidence back schooling. All those good mares races are after Christmas, and that will be the plan.

She's a tough mare. Michael gets a great tune out of her. He seems to have a special bond with her and she jumped so well for him in Leopardstown that we continued their partnership. She was giving her hurdles too much daylight but Michael seems to have got the best out of her. The trip (two miles) was a worry coming down here today and we would have been happy if she'd been placed. She jumped really well today and she handles the ground. Good ground is her ideal ground though, Tony McCoy said that the day he rode her in Sandown. She'll go to Fairyhouse now for the mares final.

we were very disappointed with her the last day but she jumped big, faded away and was beaten a good bit. If that was how good she was we were going to send her over fences. Today she jumped well and got a loely split turning in. she has a lovely pedigree and is related to Alexander Banquet and Wither Or Which.

She deserved that. People were saying that her jumping was letting her down. The problem was that she was too careful over her hurdles and she was over-jumping them . it was like she was jumping fences. She was very good today and got a very good ride. She is game and she is tough and we won't hang around with her over hurdles for too much longer. We'll look at a three mile hurdle next - that's what she probably wants.
