Plouios off the mark over timber in Kilbeggan opener

Quick double for de Bromhead, Walsh & McManus with Times

Tornado Watch keeps ahead of the handicapper

He didn't seem to travel great for most of the race but luckily when he got a bit of daylight after the last he stayed on and got there. It's great for a horse with plenty of miles on the clock to win back-to-back races.

Mullins doubles up on Redhotfillypeppers

She wants every inch of that two-and-a-half miles around here. She'd maybe be a bit better going the other way and jumping a fence. She's a lovely mare that will win plenty of races. I think they're starting to figure her out now that she's a big staying chasing mare. Every inch of a test is ideal for her.

Mullins rides Steel Wave to a Kilbeggan treble

Net D'Ecosse marks himself out as Midlands National horse

He deserved that as he had a lot of good runs last year without winning a race. He ran well around here before. I was a little worried about the ground because it was soft but he handled it well. He jumped well and got a good positive ride. Hopefully he might be a nicer horse this year. We had to hobday him last year after we got him and it took him a while after that. He likes summer ground.

Facile winner Sancta Simona gives Mullins three wins

She was very good. The better ground helped her out, she got stuck in the mud in Thurles. Virginia Beauscop looks after her and has done a great job with her. She has lots of gears and could win on the Flat.
