Heather blooms as action returns
She'd have won further with a hill finish! She'll run again at Christmas, possibly back over fences then. We'll see what the handicapper does with her over hurdles now, if he's not too hard on her she could stay over them at Limerick at Christmas.
Mossey Joe a star on the up
I'm not surprised he won like that, sure he never came off the bridle to win before. He was never away for a gallop before today though and that should bring him on another stone. He is a more of a chaser really though but he might go in another one of those (a hurdle). The Irish National would be his main aim as he jumps well. He'd be better off in front. He had to come here though as there were no chases for him. There was only one three miler and that was in Leopardstown at Christmas.
Bishopsfurze is now 3 from 4
Profit Margin is good at Cork
After all the snow we've had for the last fortnight he was only on the walker as there is still six inches of snow on our gallops. He got to the Curragh last Thursday for a canter - so that must be the way to train these horses!. He looked to be fit enough there but he is that type of horse anyway . he doesn't carry much condition. The trip there was a bit short for him but that was a good test for him with the likes of de Bromhead's horse (House Rules) in there.
Osirixamix all the way
Bear strongest in Cork finale
He is tough and he is a half-brother to Ross Moff. I'd say he is pretty decent and he went well in a schooling hurdle at Tipperary. Davy said he was green throughout the race but he is a lovely type and I'm lucky to have him.
