Winning Trainer: Peter & Paul Snowden

On the mare: "Rewarded with a nice win today. So thankful for the owners who have been nice and patient with her. This all culminates from the good spell that we gave her. We let her develop and grow into herself and we're getting the benefits of that now.

"She has always been a genuine mare but early on in her career just wet tracks really plagued her. You can see she was still going well at home but she just wasn't ready to press the button and go on with it. Hence the good spell and she has had a brief freshen up in between this preparation too which she has just gone to another level physically now. She's in very fine fettle and we're heading the right way with her."

On where to next: "Anything is on the cards. She ticked that mile box which is great for later on and just opens a lot more doors for her."

Winning Jockey: Sam Clipperton

On the mare's form: "She is airborne at the moment. Peter and Paul have her in great form. She looked a treat before the race."

On the run: "It was a bit tricky from the barrier. Wasn't sure where I was going to end up but things panned out beautifully. Just tried to hold her together for as long as I could, just being a bit of a query at the mile. As soon as you ask her to go she just lets rip. She's just a real push button, professional racehorse and a pleasure to ride."

Beaten Jockeys:

James McDonald (Amarelinha): "Good run after covering ground."

Hugh Bowman (All Saints' Eve): "She raced like she has had enough in my opinion."

Tommy Berry (Kiku): "She has gone great. She is more a momentum filly, we got held up until late. She had her chance there but will be better when she can get out earlier."

Nash Rawiller (All Hallows' Eve): "Just didn't settle well enough early and she actually ran well."

Rachel King (In Good Health): "Just wanted to go too hard."

Jason Collett (Charleise): "Hit a flat spot at a vital stage. Just got held up."

Kerrin McEvoy (More Prophets): "Very good run. We just had to duck and weave for runs. She has finished the race off very well. Unluckily beaten."

Glyn Schofield (Grace And Harmony): "Lovely run. Following the favourite around. Found a good finish second up."

Tim Clark (Outback Diva): "She wasn't able to hold her spot from a good draw and it proved costly."

Brock Ryan (Le Lude): "She actually ran well. She felt that firm track today."

Robbie Dolan (Bargain): "She needs a soft track and 2000m. She'll be good."

Regan Bayliss (Splendiferous): "Disappointing. Think they are going to give her a break."
