Marasonnien lands the odds
I think he wants a longer trip, and two and a half miles or two and three quarters will be no trouble to him. I'd imagine he'll get an entry in the Neptune and the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham, and I don't know if he'd run again between now and then.
Mikael justifies prohibitive odds
He's getting his confidence back, and the conditions of the race suited him well. He's in the Champion Hurdle and the Stayers Hurdle and there's not alot for him between now and then.
Medical Card upsets rivals in feature
He wasn't great at the first but in a funny way it might have done him good as he jumped well from there on. We always felt he was a fair horse, and that he'd stay. I don't know where he'll go but he'll get an entry in the RSA Chase and also the four mile chase at Cheltenham.
Midnight adds further strength to Mullins team
Davy gave him a lovely ride and put him asleep at the back. He didn't enjoy jumping out of that ground, and I'd be hoping for plenty of improvement on dryer ground. I would imagine with his gears that he'll go for the Supreme Novices Hurdle.
Hat's off to Moore's gelding
He's a nice horse and is going the right way. He'll probably come back here for a two mile and three furlongs race and will go chasing next season. He's got great heart.
Light Leads the way
She would have gone close at Thurles (in touch when fell four out), and there is a two mile race for her at Fairyhouse next month. She loves two miles and is a great jumper.
Vinnie edges a thriller in the bumper
He deserved it and Robbie gave him a great ride. He won't do a whole lot more this year and may have one more run over a similar trip. He kept telling us he wanted more than two miles. He's a nice horse and will go hurdling next season.
