We have been knocking on the door, struggling to get a winner, so it is great to kind of kick off the season. She went to Cork and it was very heavy ground and didn't handle it, went to Epsom and got soft ground as well. Probably improving a little bit with every run and I thought she stripped a bit fitter today. The ground is not fast out there, but it is not holding. It is great to have her back and we will probably be going for a premier handicap, and maybe trying to get a bit of black-type then. There was chat about maybe even going to Dundalk next week, but we might skip that. There is one in Cork - she loves Cork, she has won there and was second there. I imagine we will head on to Cork. She does seem to relax (off the front), it is more that when she gets her own way she can get into top speed. She can rush a little bit if she is taken on. She is very fast. Patrick Magee, trainer
