Well backed Mullins favourite wins Naas' opener

Mullins and Townend complete double with Sandsend

he's settled a good bit since his run in Limerick where he was keen. Probably dropping back to two miles suited him better as they went a right good gallop. He's a fine big galloping horse, and could be nice over fences. It was only his third (career) run, and he was very inexperienced against the horses he was meeting there. To be able to do that with the experience he had was very good. He should improve hugely from that and can go up a grade.

Dramatic Woodlands '100 Club' won by '1000 in-running' shot

there is no doubt that he has a lot of ability but he doesn't know how to jump and I don't know why, as he's such a good mover. Sean (Flanagan) said he jumps very flat and gets in under them; he made a bad mistake at the third last and that's where he got out of it. I thought I was going to be third but he stays very well. Hopefully some day he'll get his jumping right and when he does he has a good engine. We put the blinkers on because at home he was throwing his head around and it got him to concentrate on the fences and what he was doing. Sean said he settled better with them and we'll leave them on. His owner is very keen that he goes to Cheltenham and the obvious race is the four-miler but whether you would put an amateur on him I don't know!

Albert Bartlett candidate completes Mullins' & Townend's treble

I think that was a hell of a race and I'd be tempted to bring him for either the Ballymore or the Albert Bartlett after that sort of performance. The two horses pulled right away from the others, and our fellow was at it up there all the way through the race. That was a very dour performance and he's a funny horse, as if he wasn't pulling, he was pulling up. He was green halfway up the straight and when he got something to battle with, he kept going. He was idling when he was left in front after the second last. I think he had to run two races in one there and still won. I think he's a fair sort and he can only improve. He disappointed me at Christmas, and he should improve away to the spring. I don't know if we have time to give him another run before bringing him across; he'll probably have to go on that run.

Mick The Boyo gains second Naas win this month

he likes it here and there is a similar race back here in two weeks time so he'll probably come back for that. Trevor gave him a super ride, although funnily enough he pulled harder today than he did the last day.

Wishmoor scores for Morris, Gigginstown & Blackmore

that was a super ride. He'll probably go for another one of those, and he can't surely be put up much for that.

Fahey's The Big Dog provides Kelly family with first winner

he's a cracking horse and came highly regarded and Aidan Fitzgerald had him for his point-to-points. He's probably finished now and he'll have the whole spring and summer off and come back hurdling in the autumn. I'm delighted for the Kellys, from near Banagher in Co. Offaly, as the whole family are a big racing clan. They have had horses since 1982 and this is their first winner but their dad John isn't that well at the moment.
