Deutschland wins opener at Punchestown
Sizing Europe impresses at Punchestown
He was good there, for his 1st time over fences at Punchestown I thought he was very good. Denis said he was electric to jump and I suppose he looked it. I was very worried about running him over 2 ¿ miles and the heavy ground.
Noble Prince scores for Nolan
He was very good, when we first got him we were blaming the heavy ground for his runs but we probably should have given a bit longer off when he came from France. He's a nice progressive sort and I think he's a better horse on better ground and the better pace would suit him more. We just have to make up our minds now as to what to do so I will speak to the owner and decide. He's a very nice horse.
Katie's Jem wins for Cleary
That was a shock, she's only a small little mare and we thought she wanted hard ground. I told Eddie to hold her up and just ride her to get home and look respectable and she certainly looked respectable there. We hadn't a bob on her.
