She kind of got leery in front the last day at Wexford and pricked her ears, so the cheekpieces probably helped her today and we brought her back a bit in trip. She is a grand filly, jumps well and has plenty of experience. It wasn't the strongest of races, but in her own bracket she could be capable of winning again. She has a nice mark and as I said, it was a very weak race. I'm delighted again for Rory, he is in the road from us in Naas and we've had two winners for him this week, so it's great. They picked out this filly and bought her and hopefully he'll get a couple more. I'm delighted for Mike as well, it gives him a chance in that conditional riders race.

She got on great with her and she settled. The last day she ran over seven (furlongs) which didn't suit her and she had a terrible draw on the outside. She ran just too free and didn't settle whereas today a good draw in six, bit of cover over six furlongs. In fairness to her the last day, with as free as she was, she was still there a furlong down and didn't get home. Today worked out perfectly, and we were delighted when we saw the draw that she would get a bit of cover. She's progressive and she is quick and probably could get a little bit quicker. There is a race in a month's time here back to five (furlongs), three-year-old only, so we wouldn't rule that out. She likes a bit of nice ground (on turf), so we wouldn't be in any panic. We will probably come back here for that race and give five a chance. Those Kodi Bear's are quick - there was three of them in that race today. She's out of a mare by Exceed And Excel, so that is where the speed is coming from and you'd imagine with the more races she gets, she might even get a bit quicker. She's a nice little filly and is a sister to Four Blondes with a nice pedigree, so hopefully she keeps going.
