Turf Range really enjoying himself on polytrack
He's done that well again. I don't know whether you could say he's improving but he just loves it up here and Wayne (Lordan) gets on well with him. He got 7lb the last night so I don't know what he'll get after that. He doesn't take a lot of racing, we'll probably come back here in January and see what is coming up for him. That's his trip. He's done his job now for the year, if he never wins another one. It's great for the lads again and it's a nice early Christmas present.
Knocklane Lass gets her reward
She's done nothing wrong and has been a filly that has been improving with every run. That's an important one tonight as it's Tom Mitchell's first winner and we're delighted that he's been able to come here tonight to witness it. He's a good man and a good member of our team. We'll see what the program is like in the New Year for her. She's very versatile, she goes on any ground and Colin just said there she can step up in trip as well which opens up a lot of doors. She's a very genuine filly and Tom will have a bit of fun with her.
Independent Expert times her run well
I was a bit afraid as it was her third run in six weeks and she's a light filly. We said we'd come here tonight as the conditions of the race suited more than the horse running in the race. That'll be it for the year, she's a winner at two and Kevin will probably breed off her again and she's won a voucher for him so he can buy another one. It's job done. She actually goes on soft ground very well. She'll have a mark now and we'll come back in the spring provided she's not sold in the meantime or something.
Drish Melody pops up at 50/1 for Commins
She was a big price but we were expecting as she was in very good form today,. Last week she wasn't in as good a form (when seventh) and she didn't even travel up to the races that well. Everything went well in her preparation all week and we were delighted with her. Her brother won this time last year up here as well, Drish Venture, we had a great time with him as well. This one is big and she's going to improve and improve. We'll probably put her away now, if we can sell her we will but she'll make a smashing three-year-old.

Tynamite storms home on the sand
Dream Today vindicates McGuinness' faith
To me he shouldn't have been 20/1 on the form book. The handicapper gave him 3lb for being third here the last night when the first and second favourite tonight were in front of him. We had a weight swing and I thought the six would suit him better. He travelled very sweet and we were very happy with him. He'll probably get a bit of a break now and come back later in the campaign. Cian gave him a great ride tonight, there was plenty of pace, and I was delighted with him. It's great for the boys.
