Cheltenham Tips

She ran very well in Galway last year on fast ground and she was probably very weak,. I gave her a break over the winter but she never did a stroke. Jim (Bolger) told me 30 years ago that holidays were bad for you and she obviously took that on board. When we started riding her out again she improved every day. We'll never need a star to hang above her door but she'll win again and I'm happy with that. She loves Galway, and I love Galway, but before that she could very well make her way down to Gowran on Sunday. She was ready to go and win but will come on plenty from that also. She's a half-sister to Punch Bag and I could see her jumping a hurdle.
