She's in right good form and very honest. It was nice to see the rain come. She likes it soft. She had a bad draw, but Rory gave her a good ride. Hopefully there'll be a drop of rain for Galway.

The syndicate only leased him off me about three weeks ago. A different syndicate only had him a couple of weeks last year before he won at Listowel!. Rory missed the boat as he is suspended but he had a chat with Niall this morning and Niall gave him a super ride. He works well at home and is very honest. Hopefully he can get another one.

It was a nice win and not totally surprising as she loves that soft ground and I was glad to see the rain come. She was down as low as 53, but I had faith in her. I would have been happy with being in the first three today, but I'm truly delighted!. She'll go handicapping now. She's entered tomorrow, but we don't need to run her now. It's an emotional win as Fran's aunt Carmel Fay passed away a short time ago. She was a great racing fan and her brother Paddy Berry is one of the owners.
