She was in great form and came out of her last race very well. She has loads of options, she could go back to two miles ot have another three mile race. She's in tomorrow [Grade 1 Istabraq Festival Hurdle] but that's just an option in case something happened today. I would love to run her but it probably wouldn't be the right thing to do. I had my heart set on the race tomorrow since the last day but after the ground dried up there was no decision.

She is stronger and she's been easier to train. She will more than likely go for the Hattons Grace Hurdle at Fairyhouse in two weeks time. She gets two and a half miles really well and she settled well today. Andrew (Lynch) knows her very well. I was a bit worried as she was going so well at home and she never works well at home.

She probably got there early enough and it was as well that Willie's came past so soon as it allowed her the chance to fight back,. She'll have a scan tomorrow. If she's not in foal she'll go to Punchestown for the two-miler or three-miler, depending on ground. I'm pleased with the manner she won today and she's obviously got loads of ability.

We're delighted to get that out of the way. She came here a little bit under-cooked and she should improve an awful lot from it. The Morgiana (Hurdle at Punchestown) is the obvious place to go now but we won't be getting too carried away yet. We won't go travelling with her until after Christmas. She settled like a lamb and the ear-plugs (1st time wearing them) worked wonders. She went around the parade-ring here last year like a scalded cat and had her race run then. She was a filly last year but she is a mare this year . there is no comparison.

He could go up or down in trip. I'm delighted in the manor in which he won. He was misfortunate to come against Captain Cee Bee the last day and we all saw what he did earlier in the week. He will more than likely come back here for the Arkle.

It was nice to get that out of the way. She will have an entry for the Irish Champion Hurdle here at the end of January. Paul said she was always doing too much out there so we'll bring her back to two miles with a good gallop and that should suit her. The mares race at Chelthenham looks to be the obvious choice she will also get an entry in the Champion Hurdle. The Irish Champion hurdle should make everyone's mind up as to where to go next.
