Quotes on Answer To Kayf (GB)
we gave Answer To Kayf an entry in the Albert Bartlett and I was also thinking of going for the Martin Pipe - we’ll see how he comes out of today. Eighteen months ago he couldn’t win a novice riders’ maiden in Wexford. He had a lot of problems with his hocks and was lame after his maiden hurdle run in Killarney last year, when beaten 24 lengths. He was then put out on grass and came in sound and hasn’t taken a lame step since. He’s twice the horse he was. It’s great as Denis (O’Connor, owner) has been a great supporter. He’s really patient and it’s great that it has paid off for him. we always hoped after his Limerick run that he’d be good enough to win this but when I saw Willie’s two in it, I was worried. He jumped really well and hit the line well. He did everything that I hoped and more. There is a great prize for the Final of this Series in Punchestown and I suppose that is probably the main aim. Whether we take in Cheltenham in the meantime we’ll see how he comes out of this. I’d say he’s flexible in terms of trip. He’s not a slow horse and I didn’t think he was stopping there at the finish. Johnny’s 7lb claim was obviously a big help today and we’ll see what the handicapper does with him after this.

Quotes on Ataboycharlie (IRE)
It's the dream to get one here. I definitely didn't think he could do it in his first handicap,. JJ said in the first mile the horse didn't really know what to do because they were travelling that much faster. The ground is fairly lively there and totally different to the ground he was running on. It's always very hard to win here even with an experienced handicap horse let alone a horse with no handicap experience. We've given lots of schooling at home as fast as we could go with him but it's totally when you are in a race. I think the ground suits him, no question about it, as we ran him in Naas one day on soft to heavy and he just couldn't handle it. I don't know where we go now. He won't get in here at the festival unless the handicapper really goes to town. I'm delighted to get that anyway.

Quotes on Blizzard Of Oz (IRE)
I think the shorter trip was a benefit and he jumped better than he did in Naas. The ground might not be riding as heavy as people anticipated when I see (stablemate) Captain Cody being tapped for toe and that fella going easily at the second last. Captain Cody probably wants a longer trip. I’d imagine both horses will be aimed for the final in Punchestown and they will probably have a run before that.

Quotes on Slade Steel (IRE)
I’m delighted with him, Rachael gave him a super ride and fair play to the Robcour team – they said Ballyburn has beaten us twice and we need to just avoid him, so that’s what we did and it’s worked out really well for us,. It’s lovely to see young horses like him coming through, we’re very fortunate the support we get from everyone and thankfully we get the odd result. Cheltenham is an amazing, special place. We’ve had a lot of luck here and it’s a cliche, but it’s our Olympics and we’re lucky to be able to take part. You definitely breathe a sigh of relief (after having a winner). We’ve never won the Supreme before so I don’t know this feeling, but it’s good. When you’ve had one winner you want two, but we’re delighted to get one. He was one of our big hopes coming here and it’s great for the team.

Quotes on Splashing Out (IRE)
I'm delighted to start the season with her like that. She had been a small bit frustrating last season and while she had a couple of nice runs, she never got there,. She had been a little immature mentally but the cheekpieces helped. She had a good run here last winter on heavy ground so had no worries about the ground although it was her first run of the season. We'll see what the handicapper does - last year he had her mark but if she gets a fair penalty, she might hopefully win again. That was Peter's first ride for me, Gary Cribbin his agent suggested him to me and he gave her a nice ride and filled her with confidence the whole way around.

Quotes on Majborough (FR)
She was lugging left a bit all the way. I wanted to go down the inside, but I tried not to fight with her and we ended up in the middle of the track, which was fine. She settled in front, even though we were going a good gallop, and I was pleasantly surprised how well she picked up. I’d imagine we’ll look to the DRF (Dublin Racing Festival) with her for the mares’ bumper. She might be a slightly easier ride going the other direction. I think she’s the first Order Of St George that we’ve had and I wouldn’t mind a few more of them if they were like that.
