Walsh gets a tune out of Brassil's favourite
We were hoping he'd win one of those. He had some nice form from last year. We brought him to Cheltenham but the ground was too soft for him. We decided we'd keep him for Punchestown and then we had no Punchestown. He's a nice horse going forward and he'd be a better horse with less on his back in a good handicap somewhere. He had a lovely run in Leopardstown when he was third in his first handicap and hopefully there will be a nice race in him somewhere. I'm hoping that the maiden win shouldn't adjust his mark too much.
N'golo rallies well to turn over Malone Road
We left Kilbeggan scratching our heads a bit but that was a bit more like it today. He'll have to build on it but at least he left the run behind him the last day. I was very happy with him, he put his bad run behind him. He'll stay further and to do that on that ground I was very happy that he might be making a bit of progress.
Tough sort Ballinaboola Steel gains third win of campaign
Popong capitalises as favourite tips up at last
She really toughed it out. Conditions wouldn't have been ideal for her and her jumping went to pot a little bit halfway through the race. Rachael nursed her around and we got back into it. Obviously we had a bit of luck at the last but I'm delighted for the lads. She hadn't run for a while before Tipperary and got tired there. I thought she ran fine that day but we were hoping she'd be better than that. That was a great run today and it's great to get her to win one over fences.
Mullins present to enjoy the show as Cabaret Queen holds on
She was so brave and Paul was so brave. He did what he set out to do. She jumped out of her skin and I don't think she missed a fence. She got half lengths and lengths where it mattered. Paul said she hadn't one iota left. It was a last gasp win and being so brave it would have been hard to lose it but it's tough on the runner-up too, who ran a cracker. I would have taken a draw coming off the stand as I thought we were beaten. She went to the Munster National last year but she had a very hard race there and it wouldn't be my first thought now to go back for the Munster National. I'd rather pick something a little further away and give her an easy time as she had a tough tough race. Going back into another handicap might be tough and I'm going to look at graded races or conditions races for her.
