she's been trying for a bit but she's had her little soundness issues. She started off looking like she'd be very promising and we had some good entries for her but she just ran into trouble. She's come right in the last while and when they've had some soundness issues, you're inclined to think they'll need soft ground. We've run her twice recently on very heavy ground but she just couldn't handle it and today is not good ground, it's soft but it's not bottomless and I think that made a difference to her.

That's it's now and I'd say she'll probably be covered in the spring. John M Oxx, trainer
