Quotes on Eagle Fang (IRE)
we thought he would have won his maiden by now, but he’s bumped into a few smart horses. We freshened him up and came here and the Boodles has been the plan with him. He’s a lovely horse for the future and stepping up in trip he’ll be a nice horse next year. He’s tough, not your typical Flat horse and doesn’t do a whole pile at home. We’d like to see a bit of rain for Cheltenham, and he should get into the race now.

Quotes on What's Up Darling (IRE)
He's a quick horse. He probably got racing a bit early but he won so it's great,. The other horse (Dee Capo) ran a serious race, Jack (Kennedy) said he tried to hang off the track on the far side. He probably gave away a lot of lengths. Jack said he thought he was going to pull him up, but when he straightened out he sprinted again. I had the one-two so I won't complain.

Quotes on Zefiro Dodville (FR)
Better Days Ahead was travelling very well. He jumped pretty well up to that but, as long as he is okay, that is the most important thing. I couldn't really see it, I had the sun in my eyes.

Quotes on Drumgill (IRE)
He got a bit of confidence after winning the last day and just got away with the ground, he probably wouldn't want it any softer than that. . He was probably getting a bit lonesome in front. It helped that I didn't get bumped around, I got things easy so I was able to ride the race how I liked. It's a family operation and everyone contributes. It's not easy to produce winners of these kind of races on a regular basis, it takes a lot of doing and you have to work hard. We have good facilities, a variety of gallops, and can do everything at home. . This is a nice horse from the family of Constitution Hill and Menorah. He's been slow enough to get going but he's a raw five-year-old with a lot of talent and I'd be hoping that he'll make up into a nice horse over fences.

Quotes on Well Del (IRE)
We were confident coming down! In fairness you can only beat what is there and he is a soft ground horse, rather than a good ground one and he also wants further. It is what is it but he is a really nice horse who wants three miles. We won't get carried away but it is lovely for his owner/breeder Jim Delaney from Wexford. That's my first runner from a new yard in Bennettsbridge, which I'm renting from George and Stuart Williams so that is a great result.
