Brilliant, a lovely ride. He said he would keep it simple and, drawn 10, try and get in third or fourth or fifth, and stay on the outside. He just said it went like clockwork. She really deserved it. She was unlucky in Sligo, she got caught in traffic and got there too late. She is so honest and she will pick up a hurdle race as well, we have a nice mark over hurdles. She got 3lb for Sligo without collecting. I'd say she will be out of the 60 (grade) now, although she is in Gowran on Wednesday over two miles. She will carry a penalty there and I'd say we will probably go if she eats up and is happy over the next couple of days. Gerard O'Leary, trainer
