More trips to the UK likely for Nowinittowinit

Stuart Crawford plans on sending Nowinittowinit on more trips across the Irish Sea, after her surprise win at Perth last week.

Having failed to make a significant impact on her first four starts, the Flemensfirth seven-year-old was sent off an 80/1 chance at the Scottish venue.

Given a patient ride by Galway native Stephen Connor, the Margaret McCrudden-owned bay got up in the final strides to deny stablemate Blue D'enfer (2/1f) by a short head.

"She is a half-sister to Now Where Or When, a horse that has gone on well for us," Crawford, who has had four winners in the last 10 days, commented.

"They probably just take a bit of time, the whole family are late maturers.

"She is a grand, big mare and she will probably want to go over fences sooner rather than later.

"There are going to be more opportunities for her over there (Britian). I'll try and get another hurdle if I can or she might go straight into a novices’ handicap chase.

"I'm trying to take horses over there that have a chance."
