Quotes on Digby (IRE)
Richie said he is a grand horse, is still a bit raw and said they went a good gallop. He said he knew from the bottom of the straight he had them covered and he stays going well, we thought that ourselves after his Sligo win. Winter ground is an unknown but has been running on quick ground and that's the softest ground he has run on yet. He has been on the go a while but we'll see what the boss man (owner Pat Conway) wants to do. He'll jump fences next year.

Quotes on Whiskeywealth (IRE)
He was very disappointing in the Dan Moore (eighth at Fairyhouse on his penultimate start). I thought I’d got it wrong and he wasn’t good enough, but I’d say he hit a flat spot on the day,. Today was a bit lower class, but he did it well. He was in great form coming here and I was hoping he’d run a good race. He’s been very consistent, and we’re delighted to get a good pot. He was due to run in this race last year, but he scoped wrong a couple of days beforehand. He’s still improving and that was a career best over fences.

Quotes on Your Honor (IRE)
He was so impressive here on similar ground (in March) and was then a bit disappointing over the summer. It was a fairly obvious race to come back here, and a super prize limited to four-year-olds. It’s great when it works out! I suppose he’ll have to go to one of the Festivals after that. He’s a fantastic jumper and obviously loves that ground. He’ll probably go chasing soon rather than later.

Quotes on Belle The Lioness (IRE)
We took our time with her here the last day and I think riding that way suits better, but that's the way we had to ride her today to get the job done. I'm delighted she won and she had to tough it out in the end. We've had a lot of fun with her and she hasn't been out of the first two for us. She got lit up by the loose horse and plenty went against her and, in a better race, the way to ride her is to take your time. On her previous run, we are going to aim for the mares' novice hurdle at Cheltenham - we're entitled to go and take our chance. She has done plenty already, has her black-type and will go straight there.

Quotes on Diamond Nora (IRE)
She had plenty weight on her back so I told Liam to ride a patient race. I was expecting her to run a good race as she was reasonably fit coming here but with it being her first run back, we said we'd ride her patiently. She will stay further, found well and was good. That's two she has won now, she has size and is a terrific jumper. I'd say she will do well over fences but will stick to hurdles this season.

Quotes on Irish Blaze (IRE)
I thought he was going too quick during the race but, in fairness, Carl (Millar) sat up and gave him a breather down to the second-last. He finished very strong. I thought he'd go close, but I didn't think he would win that easily (by 6.5 lengths). I'd say he will stay further, he might improve going even up in trip so we'll probably give that a try next time. We might stick him into a big enough handicap chase off a low weight and see how it goes. He jumps brilliantly which wasn't always the way with him. Davy Condon rides him out at home every morning on his own because he is a difficult horse to ride and does a great job.

Quotes on En Or (FR)
John told me he was coming over so we tried to plot where we could run. He worked last week and I was very happy with him and I said to John I would be hoping for a real good run. Fortunately, it all worked out. The young fella that rode him is the up-and-coming Colin Keane. I don't tie them down to instructions, lads like that. His plan was to ride him two or three but they were going so fast he was last. That's what those good jockeys are for, so it worked out great. The whole thing is mapped around when John and his wife are home.

Quotes on Rockbrook (IRE)
I'd never ridden the horse but was talking to Simon Torrens (jockey) beforehand and he said he'd absolutely love the ground. . I let him bowl away out in front enjoying himself, set steady fractions and while the two lads took me on jumping the last, there was plenty of time finishing up the hill and he toughed it out well. Jumping the last, I knew I'd be second but he got upsides, he was gritty so I knew he'd get there.

Quotes on Star Official (IRE)
It looked a good opportunity and Danny got a great tune out of him. It was a long time coming for him over hurdles but he had run well in a similar race at Tramore recently and today's race cut up so you had to be reasonably confident. He'll keep going and will try for another handicap hurdle somewhere.
