Illinois wins the opener at Tipperary

We were happy with what he had done. He goes well and he appreciated the trip. The winning chestnut colt is out of Chintz, who was Group 3 winner at the Curragh back in 2008 for David Wachman. He also holds an entry in next year's Epsom Derby and his grand dam is half-sister to Solmeia who won the Arc last year. Additional reporting by Thomas Weekes

Bronte makes all under Billy Lee

Another Sweet winner for Clearys

I was very hopeful coming here and she ran well on her last two starts but the draw didn't work to her advantage at Roscommon the last day. They went absolutely flat out today which suited her perfectly and the plan now is to go for a handicap at Galway. She needed to go up a few pounds to get into it so that race remains the plan.

James returns from injury with a winner

Ucanchoose does it again

The handicapper gave him three pounds for finishing second the last day which I thought was a bit harsh, but he is down to a manageable mark now and he is handling better ground better.In reality five and a half furlongs is probably his trip. He doesn't quite stay six furlongs but he likes five furlongs on soft ground.This is his third time winning this race. He won it in 2009, 2011 and now 2013. He was second in it in 2010 and it was abandoned last year.If he gets into the handicap he will run in the Rockingham at the Curragh.He is a tough little horse but he is so quiet at home that the children ride him out.My daughter Anna led him up today and it was the first time she led up a winner.

Magnolia sheds his maiden tag in style

The step up in trip was a big help. He was staying on the last day at Fairyhouse and he was entitled to win this average maiden off his rating. Additional reporting by Thomas Weekes
