Family success for Mullins' with It Could Be You
Motherway's charge makes winning debut over hurdles
He is a lovely big horse who ran in two point-to-points last year and was big and backward. I told Darragh to pop in behind the leaders and keep filling him and ride him into the bridle. I fitted him with cheek-pieces today because he can be lazy at home and I thought fitness would catch him out today on his first run of the season. Darragh said to me that going to the last he thought he was always going to get there - I wasn't as confident! . Chasing is his game, he is a grand jumper and a genuine horse who has improved from last year. He wouldn't light you up at home and just does what he has to do but he is a nice one to have and it's great for Brian (Acheson, owner) and the team.

Shattered Love remains unbeaten at Clonmel
Bachasson makes all to land another Clonmel Oil Chase for Mullins
He was very brave and David (Mullins) had lots of confidence in him - I thought he had gone too far out but I think he had more confidence in the horse than I had. Paul (Townend) thought Cilaos Emery needed the race and I'm happy with both nice horses. After Bachasson got a fall in Cheltenham I wasn't keen to go back over fences with him but around these country tracks he is fine, but maybe not at the bigger tracks and he seems to enjoy doing that. I didn't look beyond today and we wanted to come down here and see where we were with them although Cilaos Emery could now go for the Hilly Way at Cork.
A pleasant day for Browne aboard Spancil Hill
Jungle Boogie has the right moves to complete Mullins' treble
He was immature and we waited with him and he is a nice big jumping type of horse. We'll probably aim him for a bumper at Christmas.
