Harpsy Cord hits right note in opener
He had a wind op since last season,. The trip was tight enough for him as he wants three-miles ideally. He ran brutal on quick ground last year at Punchestown. Andrew said the ground was very tacky for him today but he handled it. He'll probably go handicapping now.
Rubi routs rivals in Red Mills
He was a long-time in front and it was like a schooling session for him,. He just popped around and was very good - he'll be even better with a bit of company. Andrew was very impressed with him. He made the rest look very ordinary. When Andrew got off him after Cheltenham last year he said he wouldn't want the ground any faster. By the Friday the ground would have been too fast for him. If we get soft ground in the Ryanair we'll be laughing and we'll be praying for a bit of rain.
Jack back to Absolute best
He refused to race here the last day as he didn't get away at the start,. He travelled like a fair horse today and won easily. I didn't expect it. We'll find something again for him in a few weeks.
Zaidpour cruises to Trial success
That was straight forward enough. He jumped well and showed lots of speed,. He did it well and if I could find another nice race like that I would.
Ballynacree springs 40/1 shock
Rivals no Match for Kiely charge
He has kept improving and has learned a lot from his runs so far,.
Mangans land bumper with Kilcrea
He met a really smart horse the last day at Limerick,. He won a good point-to-point. When the ground gets better he should get better. We'll probably go for a winners bumper now.
