She's very tough. We're probably lucky to still have her in training. We didn't get the rain this winter and if we had I would have just sent her back. The ground is good and she loves it. David said she went down on the sand track where it was heavy and she hated it. He said the minute she stepped out on the grass she was a different mare. He wanted to make the running on her and I said 'okay go ahead and do that'. It worked out for him again. It was a big surprise to me as I didn't think she was up to that standard but the more she does the more she improves. She's probably just a little better than a lot of them on this ground. We'll see what happens when the ground gets heavy. I was delighted with Elimay. It was her first run for us. Charlie Swan bought her in France for JP McManus. She's not a big mare but she's obviously got a big engine, I think. For her first run over hurdles here it was good. With Limini, I'm just wondering if the runs she had on the Flat on very firm ground might be telling now on this unseasonably dry ground here. She might just improve back to her old form if the weather breaks. Ruby felt she wasn't letting herself down on it. She wants more of a cut in the ground. W P Mullins, trainer
