Le Coq Hardi for summer fun
Tell Us This survives steward's enquiry to win
He was probably in front plenty soon enough and was quite green when he got there,. He kept the head down, in fairness. The last couple of days he faded very quick, he never picked up at all the last day in Naas. I suppose the first time on better ground.
Born Braver shows his versatility in Down Royal
He is ground and trip versatile. It was a very messy race and they went pretty steady early and it turned into a sprint. He showed a little bit of class there although it is probably hard to weigh up off that race. You probably could go back to 2m4f, but I think he will stay 3m very well. I think he will make into a nice chaser at some stage.
Magic Tricks adapts well to fences
It's Goodnightngodbless from Motherway and O'Dwyer
This is what she wants (better ground), this is why we came five hours up the road today. She often runs well fresh and she just wants a trip, she wants decent ground. Charlie (O'Dwyer), in fairness to him, knows this mare like the back of his hand. He gets a great oul tune out of her. I thought myself along the top going to the fourth-last that we could be in a bit of trouble. I was worried if I had her fit enough. He (O'Dwyer) said once he jumped the fourth-last she kept picking up and picking up. She stays really well, stamina has always been her forte. She is a great little mare for 11 years of age. She will run away over the summer and we'll have a bit of fun. Brilliant to get one on the board for JP (McManus), he's a great supporter and it is fantastic that he has kept her with us so long.
Holidays now for busy and prolific scorer Ballyphilip
Professional Harvey wins on a nice youngster for the Crawfords
We fancied the three of ours to be honest. They are three nice horses and we didn't really want to run them all against each other - we took the Kilwaughter horse out,. This horse did a very good bit of work last week with Yeshil (runner-up in the Goffs Defender Bumper at Punchestown). They probably really quickened it up from a long way out but saying that, the second horse has been up there the whole way. We have a couple of those Wings of Eagles and we liked them, so it is good that he went out and got the job done. He handled it (good ground) anyway.
