Well-backed Nasution gets off the mark

He is very raw and he is still a very slow learner. He should improve again and Wayne was very good on him. It is possible that he could run again this season.

Recently gelded Abushamah takes the second

Vintage gains valuable Listed success

Mahrajaan goes out on a high

Tom is an up and coming jockey. I thought he was very good in Down Royal and today he was even better!

Katie Walsh wins the Kerry National on Busy

Katie got a brilliant tune out of him. I didn't think he was quite fit enough at Killarney but it proved to be a good prep run. Thank God he got into the race as he was flying at home. He is bomb proof in his jumping and it would have very unfortunate had he fell at the first.

Brown scores on first start for McManus

He is not the easiest horse to ride. He tends to take a good hold and Barry got him switched off as well as he could. He will be much better in a better race and he will jump better as well. He will make a nice chaser in time.

Warrior justifies favouritism under McCoy

He jumping improved a nice bit today from Navan. Anthony was delighted with him and it is great for JP. He likes a bit of nice ground and if it stays like that he will probably keep busy.

Sandymount springs 40/1 surprise

I'm the most surprised person in Listowel. He showed me absolutely nothing in two hurdle races, I just can't believe it and Kate gave him a super ride. She has lost her seven pound claim now and is down to five. He is a full-brother to Sandymount Earl who won the Cesarewitch. He doesn't like jumping so maybe we will keep him to the flat.
