I could see on the big screen I was fairly well clear of what was in behind me. She's unreal, she is a pleasure to be riding. She was in good form this time last year and then lost her way so hopefully she can keep continuing this way anyway. Jack said she was brilliant today and foot perfect everywhere. He gave her a kick at the second last and she picked up changed gears and was gone again. He said she was actually gone a bit idle in front but it’s a good complaint to have and we’re lucky to have her. It was unfortunate to see Faugheen falling and we don’t know what would have happened but it probably would have taken a fair one to go past her. She’ll be entered in everything. She might come back here over two miles (in the BHP Insurance Irish Champion Hurdle). In Cheltenham she will probably go for the race I think she can win and that might be the Mares Hurdle. She likes running and I think I gave her too much time between her last run and Cheltenham last year. I’ll have to talk to Michael and Eddie (O'Leary) but I wouldn’t mind bringing her back here over two miles. She goes a bit right going to a hurdle but jumps it straight. She’s done that for the last two seasons but it doesn’t stop her. Gordon Elliott, trainer
