She struggled in Naas the last day and Phillip just pulled her up in time. He said that was the saving of her today. He looked after her. She needs nice ground and she put up a nice performance there. From a long way out I thought she was travelling and jumping very well, she was really enjoying it. It was an ordinary race she won in Clonmel and we were a bit disappointed in Naas but in fairness Phillip said ‘don’t worry about it’ as she needs a bit of nice ground. I have to give him the credit.

That’s only her fourth run over hurdles and she’s won two races now. Daniel G Murphy, trainer
