Cheltenham Fri, 14th Mar, 2025  Kargese We felt she was strong and this generation were well handicapped, so that’s why we took a chance and came here. We’ve had three of the first four so we may have got that right. She was too keen at Ascot but I needed to get a run into her and it’s very hard to come here without a run. All last season I knew I wouldn’t want her for the autumn and we’d give her a chance in the spring. She is so hard on herself in her racing, so we said we’d concentrate on this time of year. She will go over a longer trip in time but for now she would be too hard on herself and the jockey. We’ll celebrate here today and then decide. Normally I go to Punchestown but I might have a look to see if there is something for her in either Aintree or Ayr.

Gowran Park Sat, 9th Nov, 2024  Nara We're delighted with that, she was really good. She jumped well and did everything nicely. She was a bit careful over the first couple but once she got her confidence she was brilliant, and Mark was brilliant on her. She's a fine, big mare. She had a couple of nice runs over hurdles last year. She probably has a preference for a bit nicer ground. We'll maybe look at the mares' novice chase in Cork.
