The race cut up. We had the cheekpieces on her today as she's gone lazy in her races and she seemed to travel sweeter today. I'm delighted with her, that was badly wanted. She always promised to be a good mare but she just hasn't been firing the last couple of months. Hopefully that will give her a bit of confidence now. She's not a big mare, she's only handy, but she's very clever and doesn't waste any energy, she just pops away. She's rated 102 over fences and hopefully the handicapper won't be too hard on her, he couldn't really with the way the race cut up. She has black-type from bumpers already, we wouldn't rule out looking for some over fences in time but she'll have to step up another bit. Michael G Kennedy, trainer
