It was a relief to win. It was a suitable race for her but I was terrified of the ground,. It was her first time on it this year and she got away with it. She's sound enough but doesn't like it much. She needs soft to be at her best. She's been second in an Irish Oaks and won a stakes race now so that's great. She's in the Yorkshire Cup and if it was forecasted for a wet week she could go there but I wouldn't bring her unless it was soft. She stays well and will get two miles.
