She was very impressive. She was very professional, settled great and quickened up lovely. She handled the ground well. Her work was good, but that is probably even better than what she was doing at home. With that pedigree the owners are entitled to get more than a bit excited. We’ll go for black type bumpers and everything is on the table. The DRF (Dublin Racing Festival) might come a bit soon and there is Fairyhouse, Punchestown and Aintree. I think she is entitled to take her chance. W P Mullins, trainer
