After race at Down Royal Fri, 1st Nov, 2019 (1st)

On her chase form she had to have a chance, . She had been running well in fairness to her. That's always the way she sort of runs - she finishes off her races well. In Ballinrobe where she was second in a beginners' chase she finished like a train. We brought her back for a wee confidence booster and she schooled well, so we thought she would run well. I had her in blinkers before and I thought she was maybe too keen. We put the cheekpieces on, dropped her out the back and let her creep away. It takes a bit of getting around here. A big, galloping track suits her.
