She got in a bit close to the horses in front of her going down the back (referring to the mistake she made four out) but she jumped the last two super. I dropped my gum shields after crossing the line, that's why I got down off her. She had to work a bit hard today. It was easier for her in Galway. The ground was a little holding for her but she is so honest and so good. I think she might prefer the Easyfix hurdles. She could go for a flat race at the Curragh now but we will see how she comes out of this. She is a great one to have in the yard. Mrs D A Love, trainer
