Magic Boum collects after hot fav tips up in the opener
That was a bit of a surprise. I thought she would run a nice race there and maybe go back for a bumper but, with the favourite falling, the race was there. She was very green in front, but in fairness she was tough after the mistake at the last. That was a bonus, and we’ll probably look for some black type with her over hurdles. I’d say she’s more of a chaser for next year — she’s a big girl.

Jasmin De Vaux lands the odds on hurdling debut
The Yellow Clay digs deep to land Grade 2 prize
He had his head in front at the right time which is always a good sign in a horse. I'd say the second horse got a good ride, he got the fractions right and he kicked at the right time. He nearly caught us. I told Sam not to be in front too soon, he rode our horse to instructions. He is winning, so that is all that matters. He's learning how to race.
Flicker Of Hope lands valuable pot for Fahey and Kelly
Aidan was brilliant on him. He knows him well. Fine margins and it is a great pot to win. A young horse and he is a chaser in the making. Where we go next, we don't know. He probably won't go at Christmas time, we will try and see what is after Christmas for him. If there is something there at the Dublin Racing Festival, we will go there. He had the lightest weight in the race and is an improving horse. The bob of the head worked for us. I've won a couple of Grade 3 races and Listed races, but pot-wise this is the biggest pot I have won.
Sa Fureur completes 48/1 treble for connections
He stays well and he's a grand horse. He could end up being a Galway Plate horse. We'll see, maybe the Dublin Racing Festival (next).
Ile Atlantique looks the part on chasing debut
Four-timer for Elliott as He Can't Dance lands odds of 2/9 in bumper
He's a big galloper. He's better than that, they just didn't go much of a gallop. He will be a nice horse. He's probably more of a jumper than anything, more of a two and a-half miler, but we will take our time with him this year. He mightn't have to do a whole lot this year.
