Je T'ai Porte delivers under Donoghue

She is not straightforward and was leaning out left the whole time, but I'm hoping when she steps up in class and takes a lead, it might suit her more. She settled away and getting the freshest ground helped as well. She jumps well, makes a nice shape and she might go into handicap company now.

As Tears Go By returns with a victory

Evesham on Road to victory

I didn't have him in point-to-points, but the owners have been with me on and off for a long time and he ran well in Mallow, in a point-to-point bumper (fourth on debut for the stable). He was getting the allowance today and is brilliant to jump. He is a grand, fun horse and I'd say he will be kept going. I'd say 2m4f is his ideal trip and as time goes on he might stay better. He was a grand horse to get.

Rathnaleen Kal rewards Moylan's patience

She is a lovely filly and I'm delighted for John (Moylan, owner) who has had an awful lot of patience with her. We thought a lot of her but picked up a lot of knocks and injuries, but thankfully put it all together today. She had a solid run in her first handicap the last day and hopefully can build on it. She'll stay racing on safe ground during the summer.

Hassett's 'Arkle' one for the handicapper!

I nearly choked when I saw the handicapper gave him 94 and rang him to say he was raving, but after the phone conversation I thought I had Arkle! He was right and I was wrong. We left instructions to Brian (Hayes) but told him not to force him and to ride him wherever he was happy.

Old Ground 'one to look forward to'

She has a fabulous pedigree and the Flynns are super breeders. We thought she would do that on what she was doing at home and she was very good. She fell asleep with me in the middle of the race and got very behind the bridle but that's not a bad thing. At home she travels away but even when I got up on her here in the parade ring, it took a while to get up on her. Colreevy was the same so that mightn't be a bad thing. We'll see what we'll do now whether we give her a break or go for a winners' bumper. She has a lot of ability and is definitely one to look forward to, in summer or winter. It's nice to get off the mark for the season as I missed a winner last week but am now level with Jody (Townend, in the Amateur Jockeys' Championship)!
