Fisher easily lands odds in juvenile hurdle
He's a grand little horse and he's honest. Barry said he wasn't doing a whole lot but he was never going to be beaten. Barry was just sitting against him. He should be able to win another one and may go to England for his next run.
Walsh Digs out victory in a thriller
Townend's patience pays off on Heaney
I don't know how many winners Paul will ride this year but he won't give one a better ride than that. When your going down the back with only one behind you have to find the room, and to be fair he had the horse underneath him. He's improving and is a chaser. The experience that he's gained stood him in good stead today, and he may go to Cheltenham later this month.
Europe makes winning return at Gowran
I'm delighted with that. I felt he was a bit scratchy but he's like that on his first run every year. He nearly fell a few times here last year. He just likes to get his eye in on his first run but as it gets on in the season he really starts to attack them. It's a lovely way to start and we're looking forward to the season. There are three races to consider for him in November. The three-miler in Down Royal (jnwine.com Champion Chase), the Fortria Chase at Navan or a conditions race at Cheltenham. We'll try to space it out, so we'll run in one of them and then something at Christmas. He's so good at two miles, two and a half miles and two and three quarters but three miles, I just don't know. I want to speak to Ann and Alan (Potts) but he has loads of options.

King hits the bookies in bumper
He's a lovely horse. He's probably bred to get a bit further than this but we couldn't miss the opportunity of the good ground here. He's straight forward to train and has a bright future over jumps.We'll see how he comes out of this before making any plans.
