Midnight Maestro off the mark over the banks
That's them now and we'll give them an entry for the Cheltenham race now. Whether they'll be good enough we'll see what else is going to turn up. They just swapped it around from the last meeting here. Shady got a cut here the last day and was laid up for a while. He had a run at Navan but the other horse finished better that day. Maybe the little bit of fitness at the end probably caught Shady out. I thought for a minute he was coming back at him again. Mark thought he just needed to hold on to his horse. At least they stay well, we've another seven furlongs to go at Cheltenham and you wouldn't know what the ground would be like either. They were fine and professional about it and their jumping was good.

Ciel De Neige three from three over fences
He did that nicely that nicely coming back to two miles. It was just a pity about the two mistakes he made. I'm very happy he did that, he enjoys things more over fences.

Death Duty gains first win since 2017
He did it well and Jack said he got into a lovely rhythm. He ran very well at Christmas but made a mistake at the first or second down the back in Gowran and just never got into the race then. Jack gave him a beautiful ride today and I'm glad it worked out. He's a long time between drinks, the horse. He won two Grade Ones and it's great to see him putting his head down there and galloping to the line. We've Cheltenham and Aintree and he'll go to one or the other. He'll be in the Kim Muir, the Ultima and in the English National (25/1 from 50s for the latter with Paddy Power). Seainin Mahon, the girl who led him up, rides him everyday and looks after him like a baby. He's like glass and she does all the work with him so big credit has to go to her. Coko Beach ran a very good race. If we could ever get a really soft ground Grand National it would be made for him. Considering the weight he ran very well.

Second treble of the weekend for Walsh
That was great, he's a lovely horse and it'll keep the father happy as he's a home-bred. He's a horse that we've liked all the time and he's learning all the time. At Limerick the last day we didn't learn much, I'd say he stays well and loves that bit of soft ground. Knowing the family they get better with time and hopefully he will. He's a fine big horse. I haven't discussed plans yet but but I'd say we'll keep him at home.

James's Gate a smooth winner of the bumper
He's a tremendous addition to Sean and Bernardine Mulryan's group of horses. He was bought from Pat Doyle, on his recommendation, and I'm very pleased for him as well. He looks as good as Pat thinks he is. I'd imagine he'll go for the Cheltenham bumper and we'll look forward to coming back here as well for the festival bumper here.
