After race at Clonmel Thu, 27th Oct, 2022 (1st)  I didn't see that coming but Henry's mare underperformed as it was her first run of the year and probably needed it. We, on the other hand, had race-fitness on our side and were going all summer. We were afraid of the ground as all her form is on good ground and hence we put the tongue-tie on as she had her palate operated on before. Surprisingly Cian said she loved the ground. We'll go for a handicap chase now or else look for blacktype in mares' chases. Ronan (Tynan, owner) is a breeder at the end of the day and wants these mares for breeding. Andrew Slattery

After race at Limerick Thu, 22nd Jul, 2021 (1st)  Henry (de Bromhead) had all the ground work done with her and I got her but she doesn't show a lot at home,. The only good bit of work she has done is when I brought her to the Curragh but she won easy at Kilbeggan and seemed to win easy again there. I was running her back a week too soon but this race really fitted in. She'll stay three miles and we'll hopefully nick a bit of black-type. She is a grand honest mare and will continue on for the summer. I have seven jumpers to run although a few of the point-to-pointers came in recently. I find the flat easier and there is a worldwide market for horses whereas you're either in the clique or not with the jumping market. Ronan has five horses with me and that's his fifth winner with me - he do be complaining about the bill but that'll keep him happy! Andrew Slattery
