she's a filly we liked and as with all of these maidens we had a backlog with our horses this year and we are just getting them out now. I was disappointed slightly with her last run, when we thought she'd nearly win, and she came back to form there tonight. We thought the outside draw might be tricky and I just asked Chris (Hayes) to keep it simple. She jumped well and he gave her a lovely ride, nice and sweet. Hopefully she's progressive - we certainly think she is and there is more to come. She's a well-bred filly, being by Pivotal out of a Galileo mare, so it's nice to have her bracket now and hopefully she'll kick on from that. She loves that surface and she's one I wouldn't mind keeping for next year because she's a nice mover, has a good attitude, does things well and Chris said afterwards 'I think she's improving'. She's also thriving which is always a good sign. A Oliver, trainer
