No worries for long odds-on Fusain
Dempsey's Jeremy off the mark over hurdles
He had good form and we're delighted to get that. He bumped into a good one here the last day and he was probably a bit unlucky in Roscommon. He's a nice horse going forward. I was a bit afraid with the speed they went down over the first and I was glad to see James (O'Sullivan) taking a pull as they were going a crazy gallop. He's a little bit buzzy and that's why we put the hood on him, especially here with the long walk up from the stables. We'll see what mark he gets now and could also look at a novice. He's not a slow horse, Luke (Dempsey) rode him here the last day and felt he was a horse that could maybe do something on the Flat towards the back end.
Kiely's Goodbye Someday a rapid improver
Oscar off the mark after tight finish
He's a big raw horse and it was nice to win a maiden with him. He's a chaser in the making,. He didn't really seem to handle the place very well and was off the bridle from a long way out. Two out I thought he was going to be well beaten but he battled well.
Shark on the mark again with Hewick
I'd say stepping up in trip was the key to him today. He loved the ground and Jody said he wanted every yard of three miles,. He travelled, he's a great pilot and he does everything right. I said to him that he had a chance on his work at home and to ride with plenty of confidence which he did. He's had two winners for me in two days with the one owner so it's great for the man that owns him as well. I've had ten winners and 14 seconds since we started again so the horses are flying.
Dot's Jack Hackett is a 'Love-ly' horse
He deserved that, he's been knocking on the door for a while and just met a better one a few times. He jumped himself into position today and Cathal gave him a fantastic ride. He waited and waited and it was a great performance. He didn't come too early and knew he had enough horse.
