She wasn't really travelling early on and two miles three is short enough for her nowadays. She jumped great though which was a big help. She was good today compared to the Galway Hurdle (tailed off there when fancied by many) and when she got to the front she stuck her head down and battled all the way to the line. She got a great leap two out and I was always holding on . I was very happy with her. The Galway Hurdle was a complete write-off, nobody knows what happened there. W P Mullins, trainer
