She is learning the whole time and settling a bit better. I was kind of anxious to get a bit of cover and I was probably a place further back than I wanted to be. I was happy to sacrifice that to try and get her to settle. Every time I got a bit of light she got a bit keen with me. I was happy she wasn’t doing too much though and that’s the way she is. She wears her heart on her sleeve. When I got the gap at the back of the second last she has gone through it — probably too quick for the length of the straight here but it worked out well and she was doing it nicely. She’s got plenty of talent but she just needs to settle. She’s settling and learning all the time. We didn’t want to bring her to Cheltenham as she might boil over with the travelling. She’s improving all the time and will go to Punchestown now. In better races you can settle her in behind whereas in maiden races there wouldn’t be as much pace. The better ground was a huge factor and she showed a lovely turn of foot. It’s great to get a few quid off Paddy Kehoe (sponsor). He owned my first official winner. W P Mullins, trainer

The Stewards reviewed an incident before the turn into the straight involving Thedevilscoachman, ridden by M.P

Walsh, unplaced, M C Muldoon, ridden by Mr P.W. Mullins, placed second, Master McShee (GB), ridden by S.W

Flanagan, placed fifth and Razzle Dazzle Love, ridden by D.J. O'Keeffe, unplaced, where it appeared that these runners were tight for room for a few strides. Having reviewed the recording and considered the matter, the Stewards decided that no further action was warranted
