I was delighted to get the call to ride her this year and I'm grateful to Mr Weld and all the team at Rosewell who do a fantastic job. Our horses aren't really hitting the boards at the minute and hopefully this is the turning point. Where we were drawn is probably the best of the ground. When the draw came out the other day, I was nearly leaping up and down inside in Rosewell!. It can get a little bit congested down below. She has an extraordinary turn of foot and the last thing I wanted to do was to be looking for gaps. She likes a little bit of room and you saw what she can do. There was talk that she would be better with a bend and this and that. My only concern coming into today was would I get a clean run of things. Staying a mile and the ground made no difference as she is a special filly. It was nice to get the colts one (Irish 2,000 Guineas on Awtaad in 2016), now we have the fillies' one. Any day you ride a Classic winner is a good day. My only concern was whether she could carry that speed over a mile but she relaxed beautifully for Chris and he gave her a most perfect ride. I said to Eva if she can carry that speed over a mile, she will win the Guineas. I’ll discuss it with Eva but the Coronation at Royal Ascot would now be a definite possibility. She’s a great filly to have and the next day will tell us even more. She’s not the easiest to keep right but when you have her right she is very good.
