he got a little tired from the last but Brian was making him look as impressive as he could but I'd say the choke was out. It was grand and a lovely performance though and it's great to get a good horse back. He can often be a bit jizzy but he was good throughout the race today and settled well and jumped better today, as he can often be a bit casual. There's a good chance he'll go to Cheltenham again and we'll see what the handicapper does but we'll look at the County or Coral Hurdle; he got the Coral trip well enough today.

I'm very pleased with that on a number of counts. Firstly it was good to get his first run of the season under his belt. Secondly, he was an extremely sick horse five or six weeks ago and while he recovered from his infection (which resulted in a bad blood count) each week we were seeing improvement in him. We were lucky today's race was put back as I've been much happier with him in the last ten days. It was great not to have too hard a race today and it was just what he needed. He settled after a few hurdles today and his jumping improved as the pace increased and he was slick over the last three flights. We'll go straight for the Champion Hurdle now and today will keep the dream alive for another while!

“Dunguib is in great form and we're hoping to run sometime in January. He's a horse that we could have done without the frost and snow for. I would have liked to get a racecourse gallop into him. He's ticking over and doing as much as he can on the gallops at home.Whether he would make Naas there has to be a question mark but we also have Leoparstown at the end of the month.”

A t least he got the job done but his jumping wasn't as good as it has been,. He was careless at a lot of them and the last hurdle was his best. He travels with enormous ease but even had me a little worried down the back. Even two out he was a bit sloppy but he just seems to cruise. Whether it's good ground or testing he just seems to deal with it. We've done plenty of schooling with him and on the whole I'm happy with his jumping. But he was very careless today. Today was about getting him relaxed and not tanking. The aim was to get him settled but maybe he was too relaxed and lackadaisical. I'm happy he got an easy race, as he's not an over robust horse, and the last thing we wanted was a tough race. He'll have an easy two weeks now. We schooled him during the week over nine hurdles and he was excellent. It wouldn't do at Cheltenham if he jumped like that and he'll have to improve.

He was a little bit free but he jumped well apart from one mistake. Brian went for him over the last two and he answered him well. We'll have to have a chat about whether we run him at Leopardstown over Christmas. We might side step it. We'll have a chat with Lily (owner Elizabeth Lawlor). Leopardstown at February would be the plan if we miss Christmas. He is not a robust horse and he wouldn't take an awful amount of racing or training. Cheltenham is obviously the main aim and Punchestown of course. At this point in time I'd say not as regards the Champion Hurdle. Like the old saying, novices should stick with novices. There is no need to pitch him in against the big boys. There is always next year.

That was grand. He wasn't really concentrating over the first two and he learned more today. He jumped with enthusiasm. We'll find out more two weeks tomorrow in the Royal Bond. The ground out there was loose rather than tacky which was okay. Roll on Fairyhouse.

That was excellent - a nice intro to hurdles and it'll be onwards and upwards from here. He'd probably settle better in a quicker run race. He was far from a natural when he started schooling but we schooled him over all sorts. He was schooled as early as after Cheltenham. We've no immediate plans but the Royal Bond at Fairyhouse next month would be an obvious target or maybe a winners of one somewhere. He has bundles of pace and two miles is probably far enough for him.

'He is a nice horse and dit it well on ground that was a worry beforehand. There should be plenty of improvement to come from him and I will keep him to bumpers for the rest of the season,'
