She’s a lovely filly to have,. The plan after winning her maiden hurdle was to come back here. At this time of year you are trying to pick your tracks and pick your ground, and the ground was beautiful. She’s progressive and we’ll mix it between Flat and jumps. We'll maybe see if there is both a good Flat handicap in her and a good jumping handicap in her. It’s a nice stepping stone again and she’ll probably keep going while the ground is safe. She’s enjoying it. That wasn’t too tough on her, it was like a bit of work. Hopefully she can keep heading in the right direction. Ross O'Sullivan, trainer
