She is jumping like a stag and she showed her class first time out on the Flat, she will have no problem to do a great novice season I am sure. She hasn't finished growing and I don't think we have seen half of what she will be able to do in the future. I wish a lot of luck to her new owner, but I don't think luck will be needed.”
