That went according to plan. She was keen but they tend to be when they are on their own. She was fine (with the hood) but is always going to be fresh on her first run back. I don't know if she will wear a hood the next time. It depends on where she will run,.

She did everything we thought. I thought Analifet ran a fantastic race considering she made a bad take at the second last. Ruby wasn't going to let her (Annie Power) get low at the last. He just angled her out and she popped it. She won convincingly. We could go to France or put her away. We'll have a word with the owner. Her first few bits of work after her fall at Cheltenham I was very concerned that she didn't work well. I thought she was afraid to let herself down. It took her until her third bit of work after Cheltenham to stretch out a bit. The last bit of work she was definitely back to herself and I was keen to bring her here.

Ruby wanted to be bold to jump out and let her go. I don't think we are going to go again this year. We'll probably give her a break as she's had a hard enough season. I'd love to see her jump those French hurdles, but she has possibly done enough travelling this season.

At the moment she goes for the World Hurdle and Ruby Walsh will ride. I don't know how good she is and I don't know her optimum trip but staying three-miles in the World Hurdle is not by biggest concern.

I was very taken with her on her two wins and I was delighted to get her. Credit has to go to Jim Bolger as we only have her the last few days. She is a big mare and will jump a hurdle and maybe even a fence in time. She will have a break now and come back for a novice hurdle. We will see how she comes out of this first.

Patrick was delighted with her. She has a fantastic pedigree and he said that she has the speed to win over a mile and six on the flat. The loose horse done her no favours. Himself and Nina (Carberry, rider of Dursey Sound) couldn't concentrate on riding a finish. It took a few strides for the penny to drop when they turned into the straight but once she got the hang of things she went away well. Eamon Cleary, the former Wexford hurler owns her (bred her as well). He is based in Dubai now.
