Eve's Hope a welcome winner for Quigley

We had her operated for her wind and (she) has improved a lot from it. We always thought a lot of her, but had been disappointing on her last couple of runs. She always worked well at home, but at Cork the last day she didn't get home over 2m4f. He (Smith) said she idled when she hit the front and hopefully she can improve from that. There's a race for her at Limerick over Christmas next. I bought her as a foal for two grand and has won a pot today. I'm a farmer, train for a few friends of mine and have 12 or 13 in.

O'Connor up and running on Kp's Ladyofknock

I'm 18, from Dingle and have no background in racing although I'm 100 metres over the road from the Kennedys (champion jockey Jack and Paddy). Jack used to ride horses by my house every day of the week so got the bug from there and they have been very good to me. I spent a season flapping and another season point-to-pointing with Sam Curling, who was very good to me. She goes well at home and I thought she had a good chance running off a light weight. She did it well in the finish. It was a surprise although we don't have her very long. She was fit, healthy and well when she came, but came (with) it a bit of an attitude and didn't delay too long in getting her out (to run) as I didn't want her getting bored with the change of scenery. She worked very very well in two bits of work for me and Tom rides her out at home, so knows her well. To be fair to Peter, he said she has loads of ability but needed to be sweetened up. She might go back to '0's' and 'P's' now but, if we can keep her genuine, she might win again. She had a light weight and Tom is good value for the 7lb claim, so we tried to make things as easy as we could for her. He is a great lad, works hard and you couldn't get better than him and is a good rider too.

Franciscan Rock shows his mettle in Clonmel

My horses were just arse-ways for six to 12 months, but hopefully have turned the corner now. I don't know what it was, but they just weren't finishing their races although some weren't any good. We had to clean out the whole place, changed water pots - did everything possible. Franciscan Rock had some good form and there were no slouches for today's four-horse race - any of the four could have won. He is qualified for the Pertemps (at Cheltenham), but a lot of water has to flow under the bridge first. I'll give him a break now.

C'est Ta Chance obliges for team Mullins

This is usually a Bermuda Triangle race for me and this horse just seemed to drop the bridle coming down the hill. Once I got daylight, he hit another gear, though. His jumping would need to sharpen up a bit, but I think he'll improve plenty from it. I think there is a lot of room for improvement. He had a good first run last year and we think he is better than his latest two runs, so hopefully he will make into a graded horse.

Doubles all round as Karafon stays on best

He jumped brilliant, settled great and his form entitled him to do it like that. I couldn't ride Karamoja for weight reasons and at home she would work as well as the winner, but Karafon has an extra season's training with us under his belt. That is often worth a lot and Karamoja ran keen and will probably improve more from it. We think a lot of both horses and Karafon can step up in grade now.

Duffys Hodey another for an in-form duo

He has plenty little bits of problems and his owners have been hugely patient. It is my own yard's syndicate involving a few friends, locals and a cousin is involved as well. They are a great bunch and they have this horse and Committee Meeting on the go. This lad had been placed a few times but it just wasn't happening, so deserved this. We'll head to Limerick at Christmas for another handicap and hopefully he isn't murdered for winning today.

Lazer Wolf has his eye in at Clonmel

Kiltealy Park gets up for Flanagan and Nolan

Conditions suited, her 7lb mares' allowance put her in lovely and was deadly to jump, apart from fiddling one fence. She had been so well schooled for her point to points. Sean thought he'd finish second once the leader kicked on, but she hit the line well. She won her maiden hurdle, a handicap and I'd say the ground was a bit quick the last day she ran. We'll look to Christmas now and might step her up a little in trip.
