Cash collects on Ionisphere
I though Ionisphere hadn't much of a chance on today's ground as he won a point to point on fastish ground. He is still immature, and while he is no superstar, should provide plenty of fun for us during the summer.
McNamara unphased by Awkward Moment
New Phase is still a bit novicey and has lots to learn over hurdles. He'll go back to the Flat for a 1m2f handicap on The Curragh's opening day in a few weeks time and he may run at the Punchestown Festival.
Drussell scores for Donohoe/ Townend
Drussell is just beginning to get his act together over hurdles and while he won off a nice mark today, is open to further progression - he probably won't be high enough rated to run in the Fred Winter Juvenile Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham though.
Moskova Powers to Fairyhouse success
Moskova isn't ungenuine but doesn't like to be crowded in her races and with today's small field, we had to take our chance.
The Book Thief gains overdue success
The Book Thief has been a great servant and never runs a bad race. He more than deserved that win and we'll go for a novice hurdle next.
Cowboy shoots to success
Crash completes McNamara double
Crash won a point to point and jumping is his game . he'll go out in a field now for the summer and come back hurdling.
