It's great as we haven't had a great run over the winter, a lot of our horses were under a cloud and just weren't performing. We thought she worked nicely the other morning, herself and Boher Road together. He was giving us a nice run until he decided to exit! That gave us a little bit of confidence that she was back somewhere near her best again. She was second in a Grade 1 at this meeting last year. Since she got her summer break she hasn't been firing and she's just coming back to herself now. We'll probably stick to handicap company for Punchestown. It's great to get her back in front again and back running the way she can run. . Aidan kicked on a long way out. We were a bit worried when Oliver McKiernan's horse (Kilbree Warrior) came out as that is normally the pacesetter. . She was starting to hit a bit of a flat spot in her races so we put the cheekpieces on and she travelled a bit better than she has been. They were just going too steady so it backfired a little bit on us as we had to push the pace on ourselves rather than being brought along. She is game and genuine and stayed at it well. It was a brilliant ride by Aidan, very similar to what he did in the Grade 1 last year. We didn't have Ashroe Diamond catching us down the straight today.

it was a brilliant ride from Aidan, he did exactly what we said, came at them late and she stayed going well. She's improving with every run, we'll see how she comes out of it and might think about coming back for the Solerina (Hurdle) in a few weeks time - she's probably not good enough but we might chance our arm for black-type.

Ronan said she was a bit out of her depth early in the race and was further back than ideal but said she eventually got into the race nicely and stayed galloping to the line. He said the further he got to the line, the stronger she was getting,. She had soft ground form around the track and stays very well. She got a six week break after her run at the festival here with a view to going hurdling and Laura Bennett got a spin on her in a charity race last week and left her right for today. She'll go hurdling next.
