John has the measure of his rivals
I'm delighted with him. We've always liked him. I think Dermot Weld's horse made all the four-year-olds in Punchestown look ordinary but we really liked him going up there. He's a real chaser in the making and Jonny gave him a super ride. There is a nice four-year-old only race in Gowran at the end of the month and all being well he'll go for that.
Mannon is Poplar winner in Grade 3
He was pretty fresh and Davy said he was a little keen early. He jumped well apart from a couple of little mistakes and Davy felt going on in a better race he would be better again. The couple of times he did ask him he was brilliant. It's lovely to get that out of the way. We could look at Leopardstown at Christmas over 2m1f or there is the Hilly Way or England. Today was about getting him rolling and we'll see from here. The owner is keen to step him up and I'd say we will in time. No horse at home is fast enough to work with him, he has so many gears. He has a bit of a freaky pedigree as he's out of a Mind Games mare. He has a lot of pace. At Punchestown though it looked like all he did was stay.
Walsh shines on Plinth
Granite completes de Bromhead's 1st treble
You dream of days like this. I had a treble before between Cork and Punchestown but not on one card. I'm delighted. All the horses seemed in good form and we were waiting on the ground to change. We were looking forward to running them and it's great they are performing like this.
Walsh doubles up on Break
Black result for punters in handicap
He won well. I thought the ground was still fast enough for him. We'll keep him going and look for races from two miles to two-and-a-half.
Moscow continues Magic run for Harrington
That's great, I'm delighted. It's 18 months since he's run in a point-to-point and he's just had bits and pieces (of problems). He's enormous. We've won a bumper with him now and I'd imagine he'll go jumping.
