I'm delighted for the owner, John Joyce, a retired chemist from Mallow, as this is his third attempt to get a winner. This is his first ever winner with his third horse. She has improved from Clonmel, where she'd have won if there had been a proper gallop. She liked the ground and she might go for a winners race though jumping will be her game. She fell one day in Lismore in a point-to-point when she was going well and she'll make a chaser. John J Walsh, trainer
