Curragh Sun, 26th May, 2024  Hanalia She ran really well in Gowran and I was worried about the ground but Ben said the Gowran ground was a lot worse than today. She got through it well. She’s not a slow filly. He said they didn’t go quick and he loved the way she travelled into the race. She quickened up and hit the line well. It’s a good trip for her and I wouldn’t be sticking her up to a mile and a half yet. The Oaks Trial at Naas could be a possibility for her.

Naas Sun, 19th May, 2024  Chicago Critic I always thought he might be a soft ground horse, but we worked him on the grass last week and Ben was very impressed with him. He’s been gelded since his last run as well so maybe a bit of both. He’s a horse we always liked last year after maybe he won his maiden on soft ground because he’s so genuine. I’m delighted the way he’s done it today. Ben said he’s hit the line well and he might be a horse to go for the Britannia in Ascot.

Curragh Mon, 6th May, 2024  Asian Daze That’s a pleasant surprise. She was sold to America earlier in the year and that didn’t happen. I think Rory’s 10lb was a big help, she’s not a big filly. I thought 85 was a high mark for her but the 10lb helped. He rode her the other morning and was very happy with her. He’s working very hard so it’s good for him to get down to 7lb now which should get him a few more opportunities. She will probably come back here Guineas weekend for a fillies handicap. She’s so genuine that I think ground doesn’t matter to her. She’s not big but she has a big heart and tries really hard.
