At home she has looked like she improved and she has shown me that at the race track and her jumping was good enough too,. I think she is going to improve again and the minimum trip is no problem to her. Paul said she took off with him after the second last and he wasn't expecting that sort of response. He thinks she had to show stamina to stay after opening up her lead so all in all it's looking good for her and he thinks she can improve again. I imagine she might have one more run before Cheltenham but she looks like she is good enough to go up in grade; her next run will hopefully copperfasten that. W P Mullins, trainer
