"They sat one back, one off and we thought it might pan out that way today. She rode her really well because there wasn't a lot of speed on in the race."

Great prizemoney race: "Yeah it's like winning the Lotto really. But these good horses are hard to find."

Winning margin might have been greater: "She's got that habit of getting her head on the side. I don't know why she does it, she's probably still learning her craft. She hasn't had many starts, but she always tries her hardest and we've always had faith in her. We've had this family for a long time and we've had a lot of good horses out of it, so this means a lot to us."

Winning Jockey: Nikita Beriman

"She put the writing on the wall when I rode her a few starts back. She was ultra impressive last time, even though she got into a bit of a habit of not jumping that well. It was a massive benefit to be able to put her into the race early today, and she's as tough as nails. She showed she was down for the fight and I'm just glad she stuck her head out on the line."

Awkward head carriage: "She's a bit of a pest to tell the truth. There's no need for it, but she even does it cantering to the barriers. It's a bad habit she has picked up, but whoever rides her work has done a great job because she pulls quite hard. She likes to find the fence and last start she hugged the rails and went as straight as a die. Whereas today I elected to stay in the one-one, and she got a bit lost out there. But she still got the job done."
