That's a nice start. She had very good hurdles form and we weren't sure whether she'd be a bumper mare or not as she probably wants a trip. He had to go to the castle to pull her up so she's probably done well to win over two miles. We'll go back hurdling with her now. I think there is a mares’ hurdles in Roscommon after Listowel and we might look at that. She's going to handle winter ground as well, she's not just a summer mare. For a handy enough mare she jumps well. It was grand to get that job done. She's tough, she had to battle at the end of it. I thought coming down the hill she had everything cooked but she had to pull it out in the end. Barry Connell, trainer
