I was cursing myself when I seen Dec (Lavery, on the favourite) following the leader as there was no real middle pace in the race. I was trapped back further than I wanted to be, and I said I'd just have to sit and suffer and see how it goes. I just made my ground slowly and got a small little slit turning in. I was a long way off the pace still but to be fair to her she got me out of a hole. I was too far back but she's obviously a good filly. She's owned by two gentleman, Micky Veale and Tom McCarthy so it's mighty for them. Declan Queally, trainer
