She is a nice mare and is a winter type. She won a Naas bumper and I suppose she was after underachieving since. She stumbled in Naas and hurt herself. It looked very little but it turned out to be sinister enough. That's why she is in now. It's great that the ground is safe and you could run anything on it. I'm just delighted that she has won her maiden hurdle now and won the E5,000 bonus as well. Off her rating (of 116) she was entitled to win it and it was a super ride from young Jordan. He settled her early on and he was just very good on her. That was the winning and losing of the race, the way he just switched off. They went quick early and he just sat there and didn’t panic. She loves that sort of ground with an ease in it. Hopefully she is well-handicapped and will stay sound. Paul Nolan, trainer
