Odds-on Ashroe made to work for her win

Paul said she was a little bit fresh but jumped very well. She had a little blow but toughed it out well at the end. I don't think there is a mares race for a while so she came here. She didn't have to give away the allowance being a bumper winner coming here today. She had been working well at home and jumping very well so she was ready to go. There is a nice mares novice in Thurles before Christmas that she could go for but all those races are open to her. Her long term aim is going to be the Mares Novice (Cheltenham) and hopefully she will stay in one piece.

Smart performance from Lake on racecourse bow

Brazil too good for Fishery Lane rivals

Watch House Cross is back on track over hurdles

Rachael was brilliant and kept filling him up. We were trying to find a bit of form again. I was dreaming about him over fences and he just didn’t take to them at all so it was lovely to see him go out and do that. I’m delighted for Rory (Kelleher) and the Sunday Racing Club. He loved it out in front. I’m not sure where he will go next but there are plenty of good handicaps and we may look at the Pertemps Qualifier at Christmas.

Jeremys Flame takes dramatic Poplar Square Chase

It’s unfortunate for Coeur Sublime and his connections but we will never know what would have happened. She has been on the receiving end of bad luck on a few occasions as well. I’m delighted for her to win a Graded race. She has buckets of black type and just didn’t get her head in front. She’ll be aimed at the Graded races for mares and I definitely wouldn’t rule out going to Cheltenham with her.

Three Stripe Life makes perfect start over fences

Dreams has connections more than Happy

Halka just prevails to complete Elliott double

She's a nice mare and wants a trip. We like her. She has a good attitude and there is a lot of improvement in her. She'll go straight over hurdles now and will probably want two and a half miles.
