Fairyhouse Sat, 11th Jan, 2025  De Temps En Temps It’s been a brilliant day. I’m not sure if I had an across-the-card four-timer before but that’s definitely my first at one meeting. It’s great, at a local track as well. He was good. I thought turning in ‘what’s after going wrong here, I thought he was much better than that’ but once he got going, he flew. I thought it was getting very tight at the furlong pole, but he was lucky enough to get through. He picked up to get in between them and then pricked his ears when he got there.

Fairyhouse Sat, 11th Jan, 2025  Noble Birth It was a good performance. He got a little bit of a freebie in front, I suppose, and he jumped great and stayed going well. I suppose we’re in the hands of the handicapper now and we’ll make a plan after that. I haven’t looked yet but maybe the novice handicap chase in Navan or something like that.

Fairyhouse Sat, 11th Jan, 2025  The King Of Prs It’s brilliant to win it, and brilliant to have the second and third as well. He was a very cheap purchase as a store, and he has kept improving. He has plenty of size and scope and there is no reason that he won’t keep improving. Keith was a little bit annoyed with himself that he came wide on him in Leopardstown at Christmas, and he wasn’t beaten far. He came out of it well, he’s tough and hardy. Conor is great value for the claim and that was a big help. It’s nearly like a free 5lb. You have to feel sorry for Path D’oroux. He’s threatened to win a big one and has missed again, but he ran really well. Unfortunately, he’ll probably go up another couple of pounds for that and it’ll leave it tougher for him but that’s the nature of it. Midnight It Is ran a cracker as well. He was a little bit keen early and Sean took him back out of it and he came home well. I suppose they could all end up running in the Grand Annual.

Fairyhouse Sat, 11th Jan, 2025  Sixandahalf She jumped really well and you couldn’t ask for better. I’m not sure where we go from here. She’s not very big but she has an engine, a great attitude and jumps well. Hopefully she’ll end up going to the mares novice (at Cheltenham) ultimately.

Naas Sun, 5th Jan, 2025  The Other Mozzie I have to admit I thought the handicapper had been a bit too hard on him and that’s why we claimed off him, but he was right and I was wrong.

Leopardstown Sun, 29th Dec, 2024  Al Gasparo I’d say it’s important for him to be fresh. He’s good when he gets into that rhythm and gets it easy on his own. It was a good performance. It’s in the lap of the handicapper now but he’s a lad that will jump a fence. I’d say the 2m4f is ideal for him and he found three miles too far at Cheltenham the last day.

Leopardstown Fri, 27th Dec, 2024  Perceval Legallois This horse has threatened to win a big one for a long time. He kept going up in the handicap and I thought his chance was gone to be honest,. Mark gave hima great ride, he took his time and stayed wide for the better ground. It's great. It's a brilliant race to win. It fell right for him today. They went a right good gallop, he took his time and everything fell right for him. He jumped well and settled lovely. I don't know would he be an out-and-out three-miler on soft ground, he's not slow. I don't know where he goes now, we'll enjoy this one anyway.

Leopardstown Thu, 26th Dec, 2024  Hello Neighbour That was great. It was a brave call to come here on his first start and thankfully he hung on,.

Navan Sun, 15th Dec, 2024  Individualiste He had to battle, I was definitely a little bit worried for a while. He got the jump at the last and he was gutsy enough. A Wave Of The Sea is a classy horse on his day. We'll see where we go from here. He travelled quite well there so we could potentially come back in trip a bit.

Navan Sun, 15th Dec, 2024  Midnight It Is Obviously he hadn't run for a long time but he runs well fresh. We've been waiting a long time for the ground for him. He's been ready for quite a while and we were anxious to get him out. He won well and we might have a look at the Dan Moore. Hopefully we're up to that grade.
