King gets a nice tune from Trotter
He's run a couple of nice races and once he jumped today he was always going grand. He'll go to Naas now in a couple of weeks for a good handicap there. The Scurry Handicap at the Curragh on Derby weekend is a race we have in mind.
Lordan deservedly earns the plaudits on Stone
Wayne gave her a very good ride and he steadied things up from the front. She's a grand filly and we'll aim her at Listed and Group races. She likes good ground.
Reposer pays for his nuts
We changed his nuts (feed) and that's turned him around. That was badly needed (the win).
Strait Of Zanzibar just makes it in tight heat
I was looking back at his third last run (not beaten far at this venue) and he's been threatening to do that for a while. I'm delighted with the way he battled. He responded to Niall's driving and fought all the way to the line. He didn't win last year and I'm delighted for the connections as it's easy to lose faith.
Star just has Power enough to prevail
That's his second win up here and we'll try to come back for something similar.
Marchese Marconi falls to a Star
That was a bit unexpected. He was coming back from a break. He had a good run here before Christmas when he was a bit unlucky in running and beaten just over length. He's been a bit frustrating up to this. I'm delighted for the owner. He's been with me a while and that's our first winner.
2 up for Wachman and Lordan at over 25/1
He's quite raw and babyish but when the penny dropped he went to the line very well. (AM & EM)
