Murphy's Charterhouse digs deep for Colgan
I was pleased with that, he seemed to stay at it very well. Robbie just said the ground felt slow and very sticky on him. He definitely didn't enjoy it but he got through it. We'll have a talk with the owners and make a plan. I think he's more than entitled to go back into stakes company. I'd say a mile and we'll definitely stick to proper good ground now.
McGuinness' Star Harbour breaks maiden in Navan feature
We put blinkers on him last time (fifth at Sligo) but he missed the break and got caught in behind. He has a lot of ability and he wasn't a cheap colt. We have castrated him as he was a bit of a boyo and wasn't giving us everything. We did feel he had a lot of ability and I said I'd run him in this even though we were a couple of pounds out of the handicap as he'd have a light weight on his back. To be honest the plan was to sit in a little but 'Chesney' said he just jumped so well and he decided to let him stride on. He put it to bed fairly quickly. He'll be nice for a mile-and-a-half handicap at Galway or as regards closer plans I was talking about the Ulster Derby. I think he will stay a mile-and-a-half and I'd say that's where he'll go next. This was a nice pot to pick up on the way. We were a couple of pounds out so the handicapper will hit us high enough that we'll get into one of those races. It's nice to have a horse like him to look forward to.
Venice Biennale showcases her talent as Murphy doubles up
She was a little bit green in the Curragh the last day. She's a filly we've always really liked. She's a big lady and took a little bit of time to come to hand. We'll probably look for a black-type race for her now, she's a nice one to go forward with.
