Merchent Paddy demonstrated the benefit of his first two chase starts when justifying hefty market support in the Ladbrokes Andersontown Road Beginners ChaseWed 05th Nov
Orpheus Valley got injured here in February when I shouldn't have run him. He got a bad knock at Navan prior to the run, when second, but I took a chance by running him because he had to win over a certain distance to qualify for the Aintree Grand National. That was the reason he ran but I shouldn't have and after I got him back, it was a race against time to get him ride for the Festival.
Thomas Gibney
I was confident coming here as he is in good form. Hopefully this will be a stepping stone for him although I have nothing planned. His owners (the No Horse Box Syndicate) are a seven member syndicate from Cavan. I have ten in training at the moment and my numbers have more than doubled since the Grand National win as I only had two to four before it.
Thomas Gibney
He jumped well. I was slightly worried about the ground as the only win he had was on good ground for Noel Meade,. I've had him five or six weeks and told the boys that if he was fit enough he'd run well. I might go for a race in England next. He's not too bad I'd say as that wasn't a bad race. He was only rated 109 over hurdles but could be a fair bit better over fences. He had a wind operation since his last run and that could have something to do with the improvement.
