Clonmel Thu, 16th May, 2024  Tideways Hero She jumped really well but is a bit keen still and ran a bit fresh but Rachael did a great job. She came through really nice. We gave her a good break over the winter. She’s a real good ground mare and looks like she might have strengthened up a bit so I’m delighted.

Gowran Park Wed, 8th May, 2024  Empress Of Beauty We were hoping for a good run. She’s a big girl and I’d say she just had enough at the end of last season. She had been working well this year and it was lovely to see her do it on ground that she wouldn’t be too keen on. She is a lot stronger this year. She’s a big, scopey filly and we just felt that she fell away a bit last year. She is really filling her frame out now and this year could be really exciting now.

Punchestown Wed, 1st May, 2024  Lets Go Champ It’s brilliant for Roger (Brookhouse, owner). He’s a great supporter of ours and a great supporter of Punchestown. He lost a very good friend, Tom, only recently who came every year with him and he wants to dedicate that to him. He ran very well here last year and was a little bit unlucky. He probably struggled a bit on the ground in Limerick (last time) but he was very good today. He could be a Galway Plate horse but we’ll see what the handicapper does and what everybody wants to do. We’ll enjoy today, today is a big day.

Punchestown Wed, 1st May, 2024  Gorgeous Tom We’ve always liked him. He probably just struggled on that winter ground early on and we gave him a break after Christmas. He came back for the maiden hurdle and did it well. We hoped on better ground and stepping him up in trip would suit him.
