It was a good performance, we’re delighted with that. She stepped forward from her maiden, she won her maiden over two-and-a-half in Limerick. I thought there was plenty of depth to the race this evening. They went a proper gallop all the way, she settled in well, and jumped super. I love the way she quickened off the bend, down to the last. She’s a nice filly. She’s not that big but she jumps really well, and she handles that bit of ease in the ground as well. I’m delighted for Nicola (Coppez — sister of owner Peter Fitzgerald) and everyone involved. We’ll see what options there are for her, but she’s entitled to take the next step forward.
