If I can go into tomorrow anywhere near him (Willie Mullins) at all I've a lot of guns to fire then,. She won the race last year and we said we would come back for it. I'd say she didn't stay in the Ulster National, and we trained her for here then. The owner is very patient and Jack gave her a great ride.

I’m riding freelance and ride work for Enda Bolger, Willie Mullins, Gordon (Elliott) and Shay Barry as well. She’s a grand honest mare. I thought the trip was too short and the ground too soft. It was her first run back and I thought she’d come on from it so it was grand and everyone is happy. She could compete in some of those long distance handicap chases again. She won over fences here last year.

She had a nice light weight and Jack have her a great ride,. She liked the bit better ground. It's drying out and that helped. She's tough and has her job done now. She'll keep going. We'll enjoy today and see what happens.

It's a lucky spot for us. She deserved it. Barry said the track didn't suit her great, but wasn't going to be beaten. I might try and bring her to England for a novice. She has her black type. She'll probably be covered soon. I hadn't a winner in 10 days and I was in bad form and then I have five in the last two days.
