Reports in which Verdant Place (IRE) was mentioned
Verdant Place scores again for Foley and Torrens

Western Walk records impressive win in valuable novice handicap
Western Walk has really turned a corner since joining Jonathan Sweeney this season and made it two wins from as many starts for the Cork trainer when taking the €50,000 INH Stallion Owners EBF Novice Handicap Hurdle Series Final in great style at Fairyhouse. Sat 08th Apr

It was brilliant to get it. Fair play to Simon, that's his third win on him now. He's probably not the most straight-forward horse in the world but Simon really knows him inside out. I don't tell him anything, away he goes. He was good today. His jumping probably still has to improve a little bit, he's not the slickest over them but you could ask no more. Three miles around Navan takes a bit of jumping. He's won over two-seven over hurdles and three miles is probably his trip. If the ground was softer you could drop him back a bit more but definitely on that ground he needs three miles. He won't be running over Christmas and we'll find something similar in the New Year.

the ground was a bit worse than I thought coming here and they are saying it's dead. He got through it but I still think he might be a better horse on nicer ground. We're delighted to get another win out of him and to go back-to-back. We'll see what the handicapper does now. I think that's his trip (2m7f) although maybe on nice ground you could drop him back a little bit. We'll keep him to 2m6f or three miles.

it's great to get that - I was a bit worried about the ground, as it was yielding to soft the last day he ran here. Simon said he'll stay further, he ran over 2m6f the last day but 2m4f is okay for him. He's a big baby, he's still green and is only learning. It'll take a little bit of time for the penny to drop fully with him. I wouldn't mind maybe coming back here for the 0-123 hurdle at the festival as I think that would be his time of the year but we'll see what they say. He'll be a chaser down the road - he's an out-and-out chaser. We'll see what Frank (Berry, McManus' racing manager) says and see what we do with him from here.
