After race at Cork Sun, 18th Oct, 2009 (1st)

I'm very relieved with that display! Catch Me needed to be clever to win today and hopefully he'll come back here in two weeks time for a winners' race. The Drinmore Chase in December may feature on his programme provided all goes well.

After race at Navan Mon, 16th Feb, 2009 (1st)

I'm delighted, that was much easier than I anticipated. I really don't know where he is going to run. I'd love to go to Cheltenham and if it came up soft or heavy I'd run him in the Champion Hurdle. I just don't know how bullish I am about the stayers and then there is always Aintree. It is a nice problem to have.

E J O'Grady

After race at Navan Sun, 9th Nov, 2008 (1st)

His jumping was better, he jumped twenty seven fences at home and the schooling over fences has helped him. I had it in the back of my mind to send him at that game if he disappointed here. There is more to come now hopefully and this helped to establish that he's back to his best. The Hatton's Grace Hurdle at Fairyhouse will be next and if he goes to Cheltenham it'll probably be for the Champion Hurdle though the two and a half miler at Liverpool would probably be more his cup of tea.
