Tom's Article one for favourite backers
It's good for the owners (Robert and Emer O'Brien) who are from Tipperary. He deserved it. He likes the ground and might want a bit further. We'll keep him going as long as the ground is good.
Sang Tiger roars home in Navan
He's a nice horse and I've always thought a lot of him. He ran very well in Galway, and was only beaten about five lengths under 10st in the Ulster Cesarewitch.
Carmels Boy lands a punt in Navan
He's a bit quirky but likes galloping tracks and stays well. Richie has ridden him three times now, and won on him three times (twice before in hunter chases).
Dashing Lady holds on in Navan
She's as tough as nails and always runs her heart out. She boiled over a bit in the preliminaries at Listowel, so we brought her into the parade ring as late as possible today. She will go for another one of those, and we may try her in a mares novice chase.
Nearly Nama'd too good in Le Grande Chase
Rawnaq takes eventful beginners' chase
Real Man Of War stands up in the last
He's always taken a run after a break to get him right. I was thinking of running him over hurdles at Listowel but decided to give him one more chance in a bumper. He works really well and I can't understand why he hasn't won a bumper before now. He'll go over hurdles now.
