Victoria proves tough in Sligo opener
Traffic survives blunder to score
Ruby said he hated being out in front,. It was a nice pot and well worth coming for. He might go to Cheltenham in October now for a novice chase. He'll get a bit of experience over there and might be a four-miler in time as he stays very well.
Bachelor benefits as Glance blunders
He was entitled to be thereabouts as he ran a hell of a race at Ballinrobe,. I thought the dead ground might be against him but he battled well. I have to thank Michelle O'Connor as she has treated him for various muscle problems and has done a brilliant job. We couldn't ever get any mileage out of him as it always took six weeks to recover from a race. He's better on better ground and we'll keep him on the go.
McConville off mark in style
Doral lands touch for Lambe
He's a nice type but he doesn't seem to go well right handed so we changed the tactics on him and let him creep into it today,. The further the better for him. He's a real winter horse and loves soft ground. We could look at something like the Troytown Chase long-term for him. My horses are coming back into form and are in good nick at the moment.
Eckhart impresses in Sligo bumper
He's a real chaser in the making. He jumps really well and stays well,. We've always thought a bit of him. I've only two Flemensfirths in the yard and I would prefer a few more!. He might go for a winners bumper at Naas in a few weeks time.
