Looking at the runners today, out of all of them I thought my horse would handle the ground the best and he proved it,. He had a superb run when he won at Fairyhouse under top-weight the last day. He was giving two-and-a-half stone to horses that looked well handicapped. He has done little since, just ticking over and swimming. It's very tricky now lads! He's not a Sprinter Sacre and we'll try and avoid him. There should be plenty of other races for him.
Thomas Cooper
I was very worried about the soft ground. We'll look at Punchestown now . maybe the Grade 1 novice chase. (MG & EM)
Thomas Cooper
We always thought he was a good horse and he'll go for the Drinmore now. He winged his fences but when he hit the front he thought he'd done enough. He's a better horse this season . mentally and physically. He is so versatile as regards ground and anywhere from two to two and a half miles is his trip.
Thomas Cooper
He's come back to form thank god. I had a horrid time since Christmas. Everything I ran over Christmas was off colour,. He's been a tricky horse but I think he's sorted out now. He'll make a lovely chaser. Where we go now I don't know. I say he'd get two-and-a-half with a proper gallop. He just needed freshening up and is only back in three weeks. David said he just got by on fitness and he should improve for the run.
Thomas Cooper
We decided to come here because it was the safe option, the ground had an ease in it as he likes soft ground and it's left handed track and prefers going left handed. He's a big strong horse and I'd say we'll probably go hurdling with him next.
Thomas Cooper
I think Lucky William is an absolute airplane and showed his class there. We brought him to Thurles for a schooling bumper last season and he tried to run out three or four times but came back on the bridle strongly each time. He jumps for fun and has the makings of a serious horse.
