Navan suits Aasleagh Dawn really well

Mullins eyes Royal Bond for Aramon

That's a huge improvement for him and he showed a lot more speed than we thought he had. You'd probably have to look at the Royal Bond now. He ran very green in Listowel and I asked Paul not to make as much use of him as he did there and see what he would do so we are pleasantly surprised at how he took to the change of tactics. Paul didn't think he had a turn of foot going out but he was too green in front in Listowel so I told him to get a lead the whole way. He lost his off fore shoe and he got a nice little cut as did Quick Grabim. It must have been a rougher race than we thought. They got two little cuts on the sides of their pasterns. I hope they are just typical racing injuries that will be alright in ten days time.

Apple's Jade delights Elliott in Lismullen Hurdle

She was good there today and we're delighted. She had to do the donkey work and she'll even come on a little bit from the run but we're delighted, it was a great run. We'll go to Fairyhouse now for the Hatton's Grace. I was very happy and she was a different mare than she was on her last two runs. It was nice to get her back on track. She showed a lot of her old spark. If you look at her before and after the race she's a different mare. She was dead as a maggot when she was in season but she's like a bull going around there today. Jack said she jumped a little bit right but she always does that. With a bit of company she'll be better but we had to make the running because we didn't want it to turn into a sprint.

Ballyoisin brilliant in Navan

Jumping is his thing and a big track like this a horse like him can excel. That's what he did. Down the back you are winging and winging but he's taking them on and you have to go with him. You are taking a punt when you are doing it three or four times in a row. But 10 strides from the last I'm saying 'come here, we don't need anything fancy here!'. He's just one of those horses with a good attitude and he wants to go on and wants to do it and wants to please. He's rated 157 and I know he was very impressive today but I'd say it was just the style of racing suited him. if he's in a handicap off 157 it could work for him as well. It's hard to know (how far up the ranks he can go) but he was good fun today. We're delighted with him and he's doing everything we're asking of him. His jumping is slick and the one question mark we would have is the real heavy winter ground. He seems to be in good form all the time at home. We'll follow the ground and follow the money. Leopardstown could be his track with all the fences as he loves the jumping. He's a dream of a horse.

Us And Them obliges for O'Brien and Slevin

Punters get it right with Wonder Laish

He jumped better than I thought he would and he won well. It was a great run last week. What the opposition was like, I don't know, but to look at the betting market there wasn't a whole lot fancied. He couldn't do any more than he did. He'll just tip away in handicaps now and we'll see how far he can go. He jumped better than we thought he would. Davy was a bit concerned about his jumping and he jumped better than we expected. He has his Flat mark going forward. A race like the Chester Cup would maybe be possible if he got softish ground. He doesn't want it any better than what's out there.

Column Of Fire brings up Elliott's double

He's a nice horse, a big baby,. He'll be a horse that won't do much more this year. He'll have another run in a bumper, I'd say that's all he'll do this year, but he's a horse for the future. He was behind the bridle the whole way and only got going at the end.
