Sir Yoshi set for Royal run following Tipperary win

we like him but he obviously wants quicker ground than that (soft). I blame myself for the last day as I told Luke to take his time. He pinged the gates though and we ended up doing neither or, and they crowded him and he got intimidated. He came home well though and I wanted to get one more run into him before going to Ascot. He'll go for the Windsor (Castle Stakes) — shur why not, as he is tough and we don't know how good he is as he is very, very lazy. He is exceptionally lazy but yet he always seems to get there. His biggest attribute for Ascot is his relaxed temperament, which is what you need, and he has a bit of pace.

Surpass impresses on Tipperary debut

Leahy on the scoresheet with Linger For Longer

She was most unfortunate the last day in Limerick when she missed the break badly and sometimes you can give them a habit when they do that, so the one thing I wanted to do was to get her out today - whatever else happened. She is better without horses crowding her and I'm glad to get it. He (Browne McMonagle) walked the track beforehand and said she found a new gear two furlongs out (on the outer). He is a bright fella but had been riding badly lately! Those losing spells can happen though.

Party Dress a stylish winner for McCreery

She always worked well but hadn't run well in her two runs. She worked well on good ground the last day so I was disappointed the rain came but there weren't many options so I decided to run her. . She is big honest filly and was sent over to Ian McCarthy (pre-trainer) so she could jump a hurdle. . My wife and her good friend Susan Archdeacon own her between them and they're delighted.

Status Green get his turn under Carroll

He is a lovely horse and is at his level. His breeder Nelius Hayes had him initially but since selling him, his half-sister won a Group race in America. He still has the mare so he's delighted, and we're delighted as we still have this horse.

Himalayan Heights makes all under Keane

That is lovely for new connections into the yard, who had horses with Gerard Butler some years ago. It was beautiful summer ground at Leopardstown the last day but we didn't think he let himself down on the ground, behind Highbury. He is a big horse and Colin said he didn't enjoy that ground either - he wants just a nice ease. Colin has no rules and when the horse became a bit 'chewy', there was no point fighting him as he has had three runs, and he did the right thing by letting him go to the front. He is an autumn horse and is definitely a next-year horse so we'll enjoy making a plan with him.

Rutledge times it right on Sceptred Isle

I'm a good friend of Noel's and we had a bit of luck in the past. We had a lovely winner at Clonmel once when we got a right touch, backing the horse at big prices, but that was a long time ago. I got this filly a month ago when I was told she had ability, so started riding her out with the other horses and she came good. We had a few quid each-way on her at Navan and got paid, but Siobhan (Rutledge) was kicking herself as she thought she should have won. This looked competitive but she handled the ground and she has a low hurdles mark as well. . I was here yesterday and travelled up and down (from Louth) but it has to be done. We were coming today with a few chances in handicaps so it was lovely to get the winner.
