She is a grand mare and has now won a bit of everything,. She runs her race every day but does absolutely nothing at home, so you have to run her nearly every fortnight to keep her right. . The dam was a good mare for me and this mare could win a decent enough race on the Flat over a trip - she wants 1m6f on the Flat. . Cian Quirke is very good to ride and we'll look at another handicap hurdle with her next. Her owner Alan Jamieson is a brilliant guy but he finds it hard to get over to see her. He has runners today in England so has the first leg of a double up!

it took a long time to get Cast A Spell’s act together jumping: she got brought down one day schooling in Thurles and didn't forget it for a long time. The last day at Cork, she was actually heavily in season when she got her black-type and we didn't know until afterwards. We knew that she was a lot better mare than at Cork. She was faultless there today and she has the talent. She always runs with the handbrake a bit half-on, so there is a lot more there than she gives. I found those type of horses will always win plenty of races: she might not win every day, but will win more nice races. I only have a couple of horses so it is great to get a race like this, in a place like this, at a festival like this. We will keep an eye on other festivals now.

She is a tough filly and while the trip was short for her today, the ground helped. She has been consistent and if the handicapper isn't too hard on her, she might win a handicap. Hopefully now she'll be a nice mare over hurdles during the winter. Her owner Alan Jamieson is brilliant and is a fabulous owner, so it is unfortunate he couldn't be here today. Alan is a Geordie but is based south of London and it is brilliant to train a winner for him.
