Handler Louis Archdeacon said: “We didn’t expect it but we’ll take it anyway. She’s a nice mare and had some great runs in point-to-points. That’s her first handicap so it will be more of the same really.
“She’s only back from a break and she always wanted good ground so we’re going to keep her busy for the summer all going well. She’ll go chasing as well.
“She stays well and is a good genuine mare. The owner (Ger Murphy) is a neighbour of ours and we all work together.”
