Son Amix profits from clear round

He deserved that. All of mine have run well but have had no luck over Christmas. He tipped up in the Fort Leney at Leopardstown but he was going to be wherever Allee Garde was [third] and we saw he well he ran. I don't know where we go next but I would say that's his trip though he would probably prefer better ground. He's probably a bit short of RSA class.

Ratings crucial for Luke's Benefit

Mikael d'Haugenet hacks up

We'll probably have to go up in grade after that. It's unlikely we'll find another opportunity like that. It has been a chance to get his confidence back and hopefully he will keep improving . He got a bit lazy when he hit the front.

Gamble landed by Shadow Catcher

He was a bit keen and babyish and pricked his ears when he got to the front. There should be a bit of improvement in him. He'll go for the race in Leopardstown [Grade 1 Spring Juvenile Hurdle]. He's a nice horse for good owners and we got him in the sales in October.

That'll Do Me does it oh so well

They went a good old gallop and this fellow keeps galloping and stays well. He won't run at Fairyhouse tomorrow [entered in the two mile six furlongs handicap hurdle. Whatever the handicapper does he does. He's only a five-year-old and we'll give him a bit of a break and hopefully he'll improve.

Patience works with Sorted

It was worth the wait as he has been disappointing. He was suffering from ulcers a while ago when he was not jumping off. We've needed to have plenty of patience with him.

First winner for trainer Budds
