Causey Arch overcomes lay-off on hurdle debut

Relaxed veteran Analyse That wins again
I don't know what I was doing before now but the holy all of it is, before when you brought him to the races your race would be over before he ran. He's after relaxing now travelling, through age I suppose and he has started to relax travelling. Before he'd be drowned (with sweat) but he's sparing a bit now. He is better suited to a small field and he is a great fun horse now. We'll tip away and have some sport with him now and he's a great horse at home as he leads all the young horses. I have 10 horses at home but will be quiet for the summer.
Nolan continues good run with Rooster Byron
Koshari lands feature at Clonmel
He's not a natural jumper on that ground and I think if I can find another race like that before the end of the season it'd be lovely. It'd be hard to see him fighting out finishes at Punchestown but we'll search around the country and go out in trip. He can race along during the summer and nicer ground might suit him better. He could also mix it between hurdles and fences. Robbie (Power) had ridden him twice before and he's just not a natural jumper and Robbie knows him well and I thought I'd leave it like that. I hadn't intended running him but when I saw there were so few runners, I stuck him in at the last minute.
Luckyinmilan digs deep for McKiernan & Browne
It was an exceptional ride from Barry and you'd want to know him. From a neutral point of view at certain stages you'd say he was beaten but he never gives up. He'll keep going at whatever speed he's at and he was a bit in front for a while on his own. He's a real soft ground horse and it might be hard to get it soft like that again before the end of the season.
Gleeson off the mark as Mullins completes treble
When I came home I thought Willie's would be a good place to come to and I've been there a year. I wasn't expecting this and it was just the way things happened and it just came along. It might look easy but its hard for someone getting a fancied ride for a big stable and it was a very cool ride. I'm very pleased to give him his first winner on the track and he's a guy who is worth his 7lbs claim and is a good strong rider. He had ridden point to point winners and can go on from there. He is a good lad and does a lot of schooling and work riding. He is a staying jumper in the making and, as long as there is juice in the ground, will go hurdling once Punchestown is over. Ultimately he'll win races over fences.
