Birrane finds key to Vormir
It's a long time since I had a winner (March 2018), so it's brilliant. We've been waiting for a while with this horse. We claimed him out of Ger Lyons' and he was really good at the start, but as he went on he was just finding it a bit hard off his rating. He was third here in Roscommon and then we ran him in Galway, but he had gone up a pound and went over the 70. We knew today he would love the ground. Gavin gave him a super ride. He got him settled at the back, as he takes a good hold when he gets out. He settled him perfectly and got him rolling. He said he was going away at the end. We'll talk to the owners and see what is next now. He has just taken a little bit of time to come, but he's getting there.

Millford Sound shows his toughness in Roscommon
He's a tough horse. He was probably unlucky the last day in the ladies' handicap off this mark. This race came up and the soft ground probably helped him a bit. He was getting a bit idle in front and when Joseph's horse came over, and came to his girth, I knew he'd put his head down and battle hard. We'll see how he is and we'll probably go jumping with him next.
