You'd be hoping she would be good to jump, but you don't really know until she runs. She jumps well, I told him (Cooper) not to take any chances and not to ask her for any big ones, and to just let her pop around. He did that and said he didn't really have to get her off the bridle. You wouldn't have expected her to come off the bridle, it'll be a different story the next day but she should learn a lot and is having a good blow. She's not in that long in and when she won in Punchestown she was off for a long time, and I didn't think she'd be ready. I'm always aware of that, so I try not to do too much with her. We'll got for a mares' winners' somewhere and we'll stick to two miles. I haven't really thought beyond today. Noel Meade, trainer
