she’s only around 15.1hh but is gutsy and I was very impressed because of what happened at the second last and had to come around the outside. She is quite ‘pooped’ (tired) after it and will need plenty time before her next run. I’d say a bigger track would suit her better as she’s small and isn’t able to take that bumping around on small tracks. Fair play to her, she has an engine but we can’t get her to just drop the bridle and settle at home. She has run five times, and won four now and you’d love to think she could be good enough to run in the Mares Novice Hurdle at Cheltenham. Next, we’ll give her a month or six weeks and see how we go from there. Noel Meade, trainer
