Missed a good chance to win one when hung left late on at Gowran, finishing third over 1m; 3-1 fav when turned out three days later at Ballinrobe, ran a stinker; cheekpieces tried then left off; some stamina on dam's side of pedigree so might stay, but prefer to look elsewhere, as does Foley.

Big improvement in first turf handicap run at Gowran (1m, gd-yld) three days ago, beaten 0.5l under a positive ride; cheekpieces go on; hope that she'll stay this far on dam side of pedigree; go well once this doesn't come too soon.
