I was looking forward to the drying weather with her. It's testing up the Curragh straight, especially on heavy ground, so it was a big change here from that last run and it led to a big change in performance. I think Nathan was taking her back for at least half of the race. Drawn one made that, he was able to slot her in and he just waited to strike. She's a tenacious filly and rallied the whole way to the line. We were quietly confident, we had her in a weak race. She's a nice, big, strong filly and hopefully there's a nice summer ahead of her.

The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident crossing the road involving Kilbarry Jack, ridden by R.P. Whelan, placed sixth, Copie Conforme, ridden by C.D. Hayes, placed third, and Sheen Falls Time, ridden by N.M. Crosse, placed first, where it appeared Kilbarry Jack had to check. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. R.P

Whelan stated that his mount jumped at the road and had to take a precautionary check as the other horses quickened up better around him. N.M. Crosse stated that there was a gap there and his mount had a good look at the road. C.D. Hayes stated that his mount had a good look at the road and stepped right. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards did not apportion blame to any rider and took no further action.
