Gigi gets the job done with no fuss today

Honour strikes for Kinsella and Shinnick

Mate runs out facile winner

That's Me Finishes well to score for Kelly

Jody said he never thought he was going to get there until after the last. I'd say they probably went pretty fast out in front and stopped. We weren't sure about the soft ground but obviously he handled it and he's a horse that needs two mile-six plus. He's not a very fluent jumper of either hurdles or fences and he was snatching at his hurdles today but at least he gets over them. Over fences, he's terrible!. He's in again at Ballinrobe on Monday because we thought he wouldn't get in here. I'll have a chat with the owners to see if they want to go there, or else we'll freshen him up. The horses are running very well and that's four winners so far this month.

Morricone battles gamely to edge out Luimneach

He's a very game horse and battled back well. On winter ground he's okay over two miles but it's a bit sharp for him when the ground is better, and he gets this trip well. He missed his prep for Galway when the ground was too quick at Killarney, but he still ran a solid race there. We might give him a short break and then head to Listowel. The lads had a couple of horses with me before that were so moderate, they wouldn't even bring in the cows for you, so they're having great fun with this lad. He was inclined to strike into himself at his front shoulders and a physiotherapist recommended that we use elbow boots which are used on trotters in France. We had to get permission to use them and they seem to have done the job.

Shuil springs shock for Lee

Kelly doubles up with Cave

This is a smart horse and a clever horse. He was very unlucky at Galway where he clipped heels and he may just have needed the run a wee bit there. We were worried about the ground but Oran kept him wide and got the best of it. He's going to the field now and we'll have a think about what to do with him. His owner Victor McCrea is a cattle dealer and the last three horses that he's picked out himself at the sales, including this one, have all won for him. He's a good judge.
