The conditions of the race really suit her. Ideally, she’d like a little further, but she should be fine and we’ve put cheekpieces on just to help her over this shorter trip. They should be a benefit and all being well she should do the business.

16:30 Billaway

We’re coming back to war a bit soon with him, but I want runs into him before Cheltenham. He ran well at Thurles last time and I think this is an opportunity to head to the Festival on a winning note.

This is a step up for him, but I want to run him to get him some experience on the racetrack. He’ll be aimed for races at Punchestown.
