She stays really well and probably a mile will suit her better. She loves that ground. She did it like she hoped I would and I'm delighted for Gerry (owner Gerard Byrne). She is in the Debutante and I would quite like to go but she will probably have a penalty now and it might be hard to carry. We might supplement her for the Moyglare but I don't know yet. She has got her big blacktype and she is a winner of two races now. Mrs John Harrington, trainer
