Well behaved Sitcom takes Sligo opener
Another for Lavery as Bach edges it
She was hobdayed (wind operation) after Fairyhouse and that has improved her but her jumping left a lot to be desired.
Double for Crowe as The Two Jays scores
He got his wind done since his last run. I thought he had a good chance today (backed from 12/1 into 8/1 on-course). It will depend on the ground where he goes next as he won't go on anything bar soft. If the ground suited he could come back here again.
Bridge makes all for clearcut win
I'm mad about this fella, he's a smashing horse and we'll probably keep him going for a while. Summer soft is probably his ground so it may have been a bit too soft for him today. He does need to go much further though.
Chiltern makes the breakthrough over hurdles
Shopper is a Personal favourite with bookies
I've been training for 25 years and that's the only one I have at the moment. I had a few quid on at 33/1 and that may help to pay for another one or two!
Doors wins on first start for new connections
He is a nice horse and we have always liked him at home. He is very laid back. He was very green in his point-to-point and he had a nice run in his bumper at Fairyhouse but you'd always be more hopeful that confident taking on one of Willie Mullins'.
