Gatsby Grey looks useful on hurdle debut
He is a tricky enough horse and worked a few times at home on sand and didn't enlighten me but Barry said the horse was holding his breath. He did a good piece of work two weeks ago at Punchestown and he turned inside out. He jumped well today and we're delighted with that. We were laughing coming down because I withdrew him a few days ago from the Grade 1 race at Naas in January and was saying to the boys that if he runs away with this race today we'll be kicking ourselves. He can run a bit and is a soft ground horse.
Bold Getaway scores for Elliott & Gainford
I rode him in his point-to-points and he is a grand big horse and a typical Getaway. He turned a corner and his bumper run the last day stood to him and he also had a previous run in a maiden hurdle. He did it well, likes that ground and is a horse to look forward to. Going a trip in time won't be a problem to him.

Cromwell's handicap debutante scores at 33/1
he travelled brilliantly through the race and I was taking him back everywhere but the horses in front we stopping and I ended up being there too soon. He idled moreso than anything on the run-in and I think if horses came to me he'd have picked up again. He had good form early in his career but disappointed a bit over hurdles but it was nice to get his head in front.

Itsnotinit strikes again at Limerick over Christmas
He is a horse who wasn't easy train and we picked this heavy ground for him. I'm glad he came back and did it for the boys at Christmas time and a festival meeting and we're delighted. Jennifer French, who led him up, is lucky to be here as she got a nasty bite tacking him up.
Youralwaysdreamin gives Foley compensation in the bumper
He is tough and is really a 2m4f horse but today's race was 2m2f and I knew he'd go on that ground. We thought about going hurdling after his last run but with the ground being what it is, we ran here and were quietly confident. His form has been pretty good but he has improved a lot from Clonmel to here. I wouldn't be surprised if he improved again because he is only figuring out about racing now and the family were slow to come to hand. We'll go over hurdles now. Rebel Gold was second for us in the Tim Duggan earlier and we were close to having a double but he ran a cracker. We had just the two runners over Christmas and won't have runners again until the new year.
