Warne wins as Bertie goes to ground
Doc doubles up
Jumbo makes smooth reappearance
Monty bolts up on debut for Mullins
I was worried about the ground. I'd imagine he is still a novice over fences but he is handicapped over them too so we'll put him in a handicap now over a trip. There is another National coming up, the one at Cork, and that could be an option. He looks an exciting recruit to the yard and we bought him privately after he failed to sell at Doncaster in August. I saw him when he won at Ballinrobe and I thought he looked a nice type and of course he had a nice pedigree (by Montjeu out of She's Our Mare). Hurricane Fly is by Montjeu too and though some say that they don't jump, we've had good experiences with them.
Another National for Townend
Let Yourself Progresses
He done it very well, he jumped very well touch wood. He has all the gears and we'll let the dust settle now and make a plan after that. You'd be thinking he'd get further if we want him to get further. He is a winner of a point-to-point but he just has a lot of class. If he stays healthy then God knows. I'd like to have seen the English horse (Cornas) stand up. We still don't know how good he is, it is as simple as that. We'll let him tell us that.
