Winning Trainer: Peter Moody (rep by Katherine Coleman)

"We would have loved to see her get a bit of cover but it just didn't pan out that way (and) Luke had no other option.

"She obviously got there a little bit soon and was vulnerable late. My heart rate went through the roof that ast little bit but she hung on really well and absolutely rapt with her going forward to the Thousand Guineas - very happy.

"We've always had the opinion that when she does get a bit of cover and switches off, because she just want to do things a bit hard at the moment when she's out there vulnerable in front with no cover.

"Going forward, very happy."

Winning Jockey: Luke Nolen

"Pete sent in a sneaky text prior to that race - yes, Moody, we got it done, alright?

"She was good. In a race without a lot of speed, she had been outside the leader. She might have a better turn-of-foot if we rode her with a cuddle so I've got to make a decision, I suppose over the next couple of weeks (this horse or Boogie Dancer).

Versatility: "She's always had that in her repertoire but we've been trying to get to come back a lot in her races. She's had two trouble-free runs at her last two so that will hold her in good stead going forward.

"She's going to be a live chance in a race like that."
