She shows a real liking for this place. I thought Danny gave her a lovely ride. Whether she goes on to Punchestown or not we’ll have a look at the programme and see how things are. She’s a nice mare for the future and I think she should be well able to go out to three miles next season. I was a little disappointed with Champ Kiely, but I think he was having to avoid the loose horse and may have taken his eye off it.

She was very impressive for only her second run over fences, taking on an experience mare like Bioluminescence,. I'm very pleased. I loved the turn of foot she showed between the last two to put the race to bed and then under pressure to throw in a good jump at the last. For a mare with only one run over fences I thought it was a hell of a run in a Listed chase. We'll look at the WillowWarm Gold Cup, the Grade 1 for novices, here at Easter. She seems to like this track. She's entered at Cheltenham but that might just come a bit soon after today. We'll look for other options but the race here at Easter would look the race at this point in time. She loves this track over hurdles, and over fences, and I always like keeping a horse to where they like running. Paul was happy enough that she'd stay much further. That was a good test of stamina today. She had looked like a mare with a future and now she's showing us that she has a future.
