Lass too strong for hotpot Emery
She improved no end from Listowel but I hadn't got a chance to gallop her since, I knew she was sharper but I didn't think she'd find that much improvement,. She had the experience and they have to be jumped - she's game too. The syndicate are from all over the country. They didn't have a massive budget and they went to Ascot sales. Colm Sharkey recommended this one out of Willie Haggas'. She only cost three and a half grand. I was willing to pay five for her on the day. I couldn't be happier for them. They're a nice bunch of lads. They're fierce sporting - even when she wasn't winning they were happy.

She's hardy. Her run in Galway was a good one. She came out of it well so it was kind of a no brainer to come,. If she hadn't run in Galway you'd be confident coming here. We were still confident but just with the run in Galway — had it left its mark on her?. The plan was to give her a little break but we'll have to see after that. Liam is very good. He's got an old head on young shoulders. He thought she was gone asleep on him there. He gets her asleep but then she latches on and starts racing. Although I was half worried after going a circuit today she was that switched off.
Casca makes up for near miss
Magic back on form for O'Sullivan
He’s a horse with issues — muscles, back trouble and everything like that going,. There’s been a lot of work done on him over the summer. He got into a rhythm today — he loved it - a pair of blinkers on him, Ruby on him — and from the word go you could tell after three fences that today would be good a day for him. He ran over hurdles recently and he just didn’t enjoy himself. If you could just keep him right — he won his point-to-point by twenty five lengths. He won his bumper then by ten and we thought he was the real deal. Things just didn’t work out for him. If you can keep him right it clicks and it clicked today. All the big handicap chases are now back on the agenda if we can just keep him right.
McInerney shines again on Charts
It was hard to know but I was happy with the way he was doing everything at home. It’s a pleasant surprise with the way he had been running before,. Those country fences suit him better than the bigger tracks. He’s not a huge horse. If I could resurrect some of his previous form he was entitled to win one of those. He’s (McInerney) full of confidence.
Carberry makes stylish winning return
I've had a wonderful nine months and little Rosie arrived — I wouldn't swap that for any winner, but it's good to be back. I couldn't believe it turning in I was like have we got another lap to go. Noel quietly fancied him so it was nice to get back on a winner. It was marvellous. She was very excited about coming back. Ted (Walsh jnr - husband) was telling me she was really hopping. She said she'd come back for Listowel but then we didn't have anything to run. I wanted her to come back to ride the horse in Roscommon but she said it was just a bit soon for her. I'm absolutely thrilled for her — it's great to have her back — she's a magic person. I must admit that I was surprised by how easy he won. I didn't think he could win as easy as that.
