She's a grand honest filly. We were very fortunate that the favourite came down. Luckily Ruby is alright but the filly (Muthaza) is not so it's a bit of a disaster. You kind of have to take on those horses sometimes. It just shows there is no such thing as a certainty and we were there to pick up the pieces. She'll go to Listowel for the Ladbrokes Hurdle.

Galway Tue, 26th Jul, 2016 (1st)
We were a bit worried that she wouldn't stay the trip. We thought she was well handicapped but whether she was well enough handicapped to win at Galway was another thing. She was bought cheaply and has given the lads a lot of fun. A few of them are locals, one lad has come over from Germany and one rides out for us. Michael gave her a fantastic ride, and rode her with plenty of confidence.

After race at
Clonmel Thu, 4th Feb, 2016 (1st)
She's not a bad little mare and had a good run the last day at Punchestown. I think she will be better on better ground.

Killarney Tue, 12th May, 2015 (1st)
I thought Wayne was very good on her. He put her to sleep as we had the fear that she wouldn't stay. She certainly looked like she stayed there, and she could come back here in July.
