Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Hiddenvalley Lake (IRE)

he did it very nicely and Rachael was brilliant on him. I thought he was struggling turning in and then he picked up really well - I'd say he quickened after the second-last. I'm delighted for the Achesons especially Rob (son) who was very persuasive about buying him. Some members of the team didn't want him but Rob put his foot down, so fair play to him. You need to stay running around here and we'll pencil in the Albert Bartlett (at Cheltenham). He could run at Clonmel in a graded hurdle in February in the race which Monalee won for us (in 2017) and Minella Indo finished second to Allaho (in 2019).

They went a good honest gallop and he stays well. He ran well here first time out and getting the 8lb bumper allowance made a big difference. He'll probably go handicapping now and that is Ambrose's first winner for me.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on The Wallpark (IRE)

He has his own way of doing it, but has an engine and is a grand honest horse. Jack said if they had gone faster it would have suited better, as he didn't like being in front. He definitely wants three miles and we'll go to Cheltenham for a Pertemps Qualifier in October now. He's a good horse and will go chasing next year.

Trainer Quotes

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.
