Quotes on Drumgill (IRE)

He went disappointing over hurdles but probably got sick of it. Philip Donovan rode him the last day and wasn't too hard on him and we freshened him up since. He is a brilliant jumper, loved that good ground and we thought he'd run ok. I wouldn't read a huge amount into the race though as Caesar Rock was the horse I was afraid of, so we'll take what we get. He is related to Constitution Hill, is a smashing horse and is a brilliant jumper. He loves that good ground.

Quotes on Cayd Boy (FR)

I have always loved him and he is by a super sire who is a half-brother to Nickname; he is the up and coming big sire in France,. He has a lovely pedigree and I quietly fancied him a lot today. He has never given me a bad day and those are hard to find. He is strong, fit and mature and will come back here for the Listed 4YO Bumper here in a few weeks time.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on El Champo (IRE)

I thought this was the ideal race for him after going up (in the weights) having won over 2m3f on soft ground the last day. He was back in trip, but I wanted to let him roll on and Paddy (O'Hanlon) is so good at making the running. He was left to dictate and around here that suits and his jumping was better today. In Ireland where do you find an ordinary race? That could be his final handicap hurdle as such as he got beaten previously off 98. Maybe I was a bad trainer, but we're stepping up and up now and he'll probably go chasing at some stage.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Enjoy The Dream (GB)

We were running her hoping she might run into third or fourth,. After the third last I thought she was going to run a lovely race and when she straightened up I thought 'we're in with a big shout now'. She only had the one run over hurdles and I thought if we're going to lose our novice status at this time of year we may as well make it well worthwhile. She's a very happy filly, she can be very keen and she can do a lot of messing but she's quite relaxed behind it. She's just starting to settle down in herself and I think there could be more improvement to come from her. We don't get many shots to buy a horse with a chance to be a graded horse. Realistically she's the only one we've had that was in the price range that might end up in graded company so it's nice that it's worked out. She only had one run in Gowran which was actually quite an easy run because she got banged into early on and didn't have a hard race. That's the first race she's really had so we'll definitely go to Punchestown, I'll have a chat with the Dr (Andrew Heffernan) but I'd say we'll most likely go there. I'd imagine we'll even keep going after that. I think she has a rating around 90 on the Flat and she could also have the option of going to France for the summer. She has a brilliant pedigree and when we bought her the consignor was saying she was in the wrong sale as she'd make more money in the broodmare sale. It's all black-type and she has a residual value but we won't be going there for a while. S

Quotes on Release The Beast (IRE)

We bought him off Harley Dunne after seeing him do a piece of work so fair play to Harley and he has never disappointed us one day. We were just dreading if he might be flashy but Sean was very pleased with him. At the end of the day the second-favourite unseated at the first which turned it into a 0-97 rated race so it is impossible to assess. Sean said the same but said he couldn't have won easier. All I can say is we are excited by him, however much depth there was to that race.

Quotes on Your Honor (IRE)

He was so impressive here on similar ground (in March) and was then a bit disappointing over the summer. It was a fairly obvious race to come back here, and a super prize limited to four-year-olds. It’s great when it works out! I suppose he’ll have to go to one of the Festivals after that. He’s a fantastic jumper and obviously loves that ground. He’ll probably go chasing soon rather than later.

Quotes on St Faz (FR)

I'm disappointed this horse hadn't won as a three-year-old but maybe the better ground is a big help and we decided rather than losing our novice allowance to wait until now. He was only touched off at Navan the other day and the second has come out and won since so the form is quite good,. We were fortunate the other fancied horse in the race, the second (runner-up How About No) had never run over hurdles and I think that made a difference. Aidan is a great owner to have and I'm delighted Liz is here with him. He likes coming down, I like coming down here and it has worked out really well. He got a lovely ride and settled well for him.
