Reminder to take what a trainer says sbout the ground and horse preferences with a large pinch of salt. From Hendersons Unibet Blog regards todays winner:

Ground is also quite crucial to her, but the other way round, because she is a much, much better horse on soft. She’s a big bold, front running mare who jumps well and has plenty of ability.

She was very good at Newbury where she never stopped galloping and appeared to really enjoy herself out front, although whether she will be able to employ those tactics in a race at the Cheltenham Festival is another matter because everyone will be wanting to get a good position and there no one takes any prisoners!

We will be monitoring the ground, however, because it might not be the best idea to run her if conditions aren’t suitable for her at this stage of her life, but we’ll see.
