Highway Royal makes most in opener
He is a nice little horse. He ended up further back than ideal at Galway last time but came home well when he was still green. He is light and needs time and I'm delighted for Paul (Mannion), who is originally from Galway but is based in England and has five horse with me.
Kennedy extends title lead on Lisa's Legacy
I was a bit worried that the two runs at Galway might have left its mark. He's a grand horse but I didn't think he'd win as well as he won.
Walsh & Fahy team up with Head Turner
If I had a few more horses like her, and Ruby, it would make some difference!. She'll run again wherever there is a suitable race, on the flat or over hurdles. She is owned by husband and wife Liam and Aisling Hurley, from Stradbally, Co Laois - who are in Dubai on business.
Blackthorn lands gamble off topweight
We've something to go to Listowel with now! He is rated 102 over fences and has a few options. He'll definitely go back over banks at some stage too.
Rejuvenated Realt Mor lands feature
Eiri Na Casca nips through on inner for Hogan
I thought it was déjà vu from Killarney with Misdflight (carried out at the third last Thursday). It opened up for me off the turn (before two out) and they saw me late enough and tried to close the door. I had plenty of horse and was gone through, and jumped the last before going away to win nicely. I wasn’t sure about the trip (2m7f) and thought whatever chance I have of winning was to drop in. They went a good gallop and he worked his way into it. I’m delighted for Adrian (McNamara, owner) who is a great supporter of mine.
Killiney holds Court from front at Ballinrobe
It's nice to win with him again and we'll see what mark he gets now. He'll probably run next in a novice handicap chase, and I'll try to keep away from level-weights novices.
