Quick turnaround no problem for Paris
He was second at Dundalk last night and again the week before and we said we'd run away today as he was in good form. We weren't too sure about the ground but he came out of the race well and ate up this morning so there was no reason not to run him,. We'll give him a two weeks break now and then pick out another race. He's had his own little problems so he won't jump hurdles.
3rd time lucky for Criminal
Watson's travels pay off
He had a good start back at Naas when the saddle slipped so I'll have to take some of the blame for that but he has come back well and probably got a soft enough lead up front,. He likes a bit of juice in the ground so hopefully it keeps raining for him. We'll take it race by race with him and he might go over hurdles again during the summer so we have plenty options for him. It took four and a half hours coming down and this it makes up for Ballinrobe and Dundalk last night!

A good week gets better for McNamara
He is good and tough but has been struggling on the very heavy ground during the winter against jumpers but handled it better than the Flat horses today,. He is a genuine horse and is lovely to have and will now go to Killarney for the Grade 3 2m4f chase on May 14.
