She's a filly with a lot of speed as she showed last season when she won the Anglesey Stakes. She did all her racing over 5f and 6f until we stepped her up to seven in the 1,000 Guineas Trial at Leopardstown on Saturday. The ground was against her and we might go back sprinting with her.

He belongs in the "could be anything" category. He showed nice improvement from his first run to win easily at Galway in August. He's had a setback and is only walking and trotting. We're going gently with him and won't be forcing him. He mightn't be ready for the Classics and most likely it will be the second half of the season for him. He's a smart colt and we like him.

Her two runs last year were ordinary enough but we think she's better than those runs indicate. She's been working nicely and starts off in a 1m2f maiden at Leopardstown today. We'll see how she goes over the trip.
