Stylish success from Escaria Ten at Thurles
The winners keep on flowing for Meyler
It took him a few runs as his jumping was sticky but he was always a nice horse and won a good hurdle at Punchestown last year and was running to a good level of form over hurdles,. It was a good performance for his first run in a handicap and I think three miles is his trip as he is able to travel well within himself. We have a few options with him and it was grand to get that.
Oakley Brown returns from injury with a winner
Gauloise coming along nicely at Thurles
At home she has looked like she improved and she has shown me that at the race track and her jumping was good enough too,. I think she is going to improve again and the minimum trip is no problem to her. Paul said she took off with him after the second last and he wasn't expecting that sort of response. He thinks she had to show stamina to stay after opening up her lead so all in all it's looking good for her and he thinks she can improve again. I imagine she might have one more run before Cheltenham but she looks like she is good enough to go up in grade; her next run will hopefully copperfasten that.
O'Flynn produces Wildway in tip top shape to justify well-backed favourite's tag
I shouldn't have run him the last day in Mallow as the ground was too good for him but you live and learn and it was nice to get another win up before Christmas,. The trip is a small bit short for him but once they have ability they'll always show it. He is versatile and stays three miles and is a lovely horse for the lads and is improving. He is not the biggest horse but is unbelievable to jump and I'll be looking forward to him when he jumps a fence. When he goes over fences you'll see the real deal.
Elliott and Kennedy double up at Thurles
Point-to-point 2nd Flame Bearer shows talent with Thurles bumper win
Myself and Donnchadh Doyle owned him when he ran in his point to point and we always knew he was very good but Jack (Doyle, son) got broke up so I sent him to Donnchadh to train,. We were very disappointed the day he was beaten in his point to point when he didn't jump well enough. The horse is not for sale and I own him in partnership with two very good friends.
