Lady Mendoza has been back in work for a while now, and I have to say, she’s really pleasing me.

She looks a million dollars, and she’s really enthusiastic in her work, as you can see in the above video from the gallops this morning, so I couldn’t be happier with her. I’m conscious that we’ve been here before with her though, so I don’t want to get too carried away at this stage!

I’d say she’s about two or three weeks off a run, the ground should be ideal for her at this time of the year, and the meeting at Cartmel at the end of the month. She ran there at the meeting last year and it could be the ideal place to get her started again. It’s also a lovely place for a day out, with the famous sticky toffee pudding!

We’ll work back from there, and I’m really looking forward to seeing how she goes in this latest stage of her career.
