She was entitled to do that on her bumper form. She disappointed over hurdles at Galway but maybe she didn’t handle the track and she jumped well today. We’ve had her for three years but she kept going wrong.

That's more like the mare that we see at home than the Galway run. That was very good and we're very pleased with that. I'd imagine I'll probably go jumping with her now as I don't think there's much point at sticking at this. She'd hardly run at Cheltenham as an eight-year-old!. With Glens (Harmony) I'll have a chat with the owner and see what they want to do, to see if they want to go jumping. I'd imagine we'll stick at this and try and win one of these good fillies' bumper and maybe leave the jumping until next year. Patrick will probably want her to stay in bumpers. I'm delighted with the two of them and the other filly probably just didn't handle the ground. We might put her away for a spring/summer campaign. Galway could be on her agenda with Mr Mee as an owner.

Small field races can often be the roughest. I think it knocked her confidence a bit but the second horse is good and we will see in time the merit of the form. She could go for the Listed bumper at Gowran in October. It's been a great week from the first evening with Aubrey winning on Whiskey Sour. Riven Light has been a revelation and ran well again today. It's been good to see the Flat horses running so well all week.

The owners deserve a lot of credit because they have her four years and we've always been telling them she's worth waiting for and has ability. It's great for her to go out and actually do it and she is a half-sister to Sous Les Cieux who was a very good horse we had. Fingers crossed she'll be alright in the morning and I imagine she's up to winning a winners' bumper and, being by Lavirco, will go on soft ground too. They'll have a lot of fun with her but she is quite delicate. She never had a big problem but had lots of little things and I think she could improve from that too.
