All You Need and more from Connell's mare
She jumped well for her first time. She travelled very well, and should have no bother winning a few more chases. I've no real plan at the moment but in that ground I'd say we'll keep her to two miles. She'd have no problem going up another half-mile on better ground.
Shaneshill takes another step on ladder
Another Grade 1 for top team
He might need to brush up his jumping a bit. His jumping has been fantastic up to now, and I'd give him the benefit of the doubt and say it was due to idling in front on that very testing ground,. He's progressing nicely and has a huge cruising speed. He'll probably go next for the Deloitte at Leopardstown (February 6).
Tough Henry battles to victory
Vic the master of City
I was disappointed with his jumping the last day. Something came across him at one of the early fences and I was surprised that he jumped poorly after that,. We decided to switch him to hurdles and, while he'd want a bit further than that, we thought two miles around here would be far enough. He'll mix it now between hurdles and fences.
Consistent Call goes in again
The ground was a bit holding for him at Navan the last day, and the favourite coming out (Rolling Rocket, non-runner due to a family bereavement) here helped,. He jumped great and Luke gave him a lovely ride.He's flat out over two miles but two and a half seems to find him out. He gets his wind done every year.
Naas double for Connell and Fleming
He's a lovely big horse, and handled the ground great,. Steven was impressed with him so that's good. I'm not sure if he'll go for a winners bumper or whether we'll leave him off for the year.
