Shock Champion Hurdle winner Golden Ace is unlikely to be seen in action much before Christmas.
While trainer Jeremy Scott is delighted with her condition currently, she is traditionally slow to come to hand and her handler does not see that changing this season.
Last term she made her seasonal bow in the Ascot Hurdle at the end of November, while the year before she did not reappear until January.
“I couldn’t be happier with her, she looks a million dollars and has summered really well,” Scott said.
“She’s back in now, we’ve just started riding her.
“We’ll see how she comes along as we’ve never really managed to get her to run much before Christmas, but every year you hope you might get there.
“I couldn’t be happier at the moment, anyway.”
Golden Ace went to Punchestown after her finest hour, and Scott added: “I imagine it will be a pretty similar season, we’ll be aiming to have her at her best in the spring again. She’s a mare and she’ll let us know when she’s ready.”
