Fortune comes good for Doyles

I thought he was capable of doing that but he has been disappointing,. He appreciates the ground and if the ground stays the way it is, we'll look for the 2m4f winners' of one race at Thurles in the coming weeks: two-and-a-half plus is his trip. He is a lovely big horse who cost a lot of money and we were always hoping he'd do something like that. He will make a nice horse over fences and will go chasing in the spring but won't run on winter ground.

Steve makes winning start for Cromwell

Indian bounces back to form in style

I suppose he was the class horse in the race being a Listed winner and I know he has been disappointing but the ground was too soft for him all year. He had a good first run back this year and if he hadn't run twice since on ground which was too hard, he'd have been favourite today. We think he is well handicapped on the flat but can't get the ground for him. We'll try for another 0-140 handicap now and he could either go to Cheltenham later this month or to Leopardstown over Christmas.

Pink lands spoils as Allegorie disappoints

It was a good performance. She took on the geldings the last day and while we were disappointed, she ran a respectable fourth. That probably sharpened her, she jumped great across the top and battled well at the finish. I didn't think I'd be beating Allegorie but you never know, especially with mares and these races can often throw up funny results. She has had a good consistent summer and is going the right way. I won on her brother Mister Pink in Punchestown recently, they're a good breed so people could be lining up for the next one.

Sam too strong for Clonmel Oil rivals

Enright squeezes up inner to score on Impulse

I had a huge advantage having Philip as he was worth a lot around there. He didn't miss a beat, got a great run and hardly left 'the paint'. He gave him a great ride,. In Tramore he didn't jump well and they probably went a bit fast early on and he got taken out of his comfort zone. We were hopeful going there as he was working nicely but he was never happy and he had to pull him up. We were surprised that he ran disappointingly. Like all the horses, we're hoping he'll improve so we'll see how he goes. I bought him off Jim Mernagh in Tattersalls and he is an active, loose horse.

Mic lands gamble in bumper

He won his point to point but was immature and backward and Rob said he has strengthened up well. He is a big horse who is a chaser in the making,. He'll go jumping now, he needs a trip and won his point to point on absolutely bottomless ground. Peter (Tarrant, owner/breeder) is out of the country but we said we'd have one more run in a bumper while there was no Willie Mullins horse in it. This was lovely as, lord have mercy on Peter's father, he was great to me and my father in his time, so it is great to see those colours back in the winner's enclosure. Peter was patient with this horse and had an option to sell but said he'd hold on to him to have some fun. His mother won five races for us but was an inconsistent broodmare although has a two-year-old half-brother by Order Of St George to come.
