Quotes on Happy Dreams (FR)
That is my second winner this week and we have been lucky. This is his third win at Limerick and he loves it here. He was well-in at the bottom of the weights and young Mark gave him a lovely ride. We had a metal manufacturing business in Shannon and I found the sport was a great way of getting to know customers. We are racing a long time now and this has been a good week, although you'd need it. The horses were going ok at home, are happy but I never think we will win as everyone else does too! I'm very happy with what we achieved this week and when you get a winner everyone is happy - the guys in the yard are much more interested in their work and everyone feels a lot better.

Quotes on Valsorpresa (GB)
He hasn't been straightforward, he was a bit keen early on in his career. He's going to win plenty of races - he's no Presenting Percy (brother) and he's not the biggest in the world, but he's going to win plenty of races. I'd say it is beautiful ground as it always is in Downpatrick. All credit to Downpatrick, every time you come into the racecourse there is something new. New vets box, new stable yard, new trotting up area. I think a lot of racecourses could take a leaf out of their book. Paul (Townend) is going to be very hard beat (in jockeys' title race), he's got serious ammunition for Punchestown. I thought coming into today if he (Kennedy) rode another four winners he would have a chance. Another three to go and Paul would have to ride 11 to beat him.

Quotes on Handsworth (IRE)
He always worked well but was a bit disappointing over hurdles. I’d say he’s going to be better over fences. It was a great race as a spectacle and he battled well.

Quotes on Andys Flame (GB)
I love this place. Both Downpatrick and Down Royal are so well supported, it is great to come racing to both tracks. He ran a lovely race in a better race the last day. Better ground probably suited him and he is one for the future. He is still learning, he is a big baby and took a long time to mature even though he had won his point-to-point. Hopefully there is more good days in him. We'll keep him on the go for a little while. He enjoyed the ground and relished the hill. He's a nice horse for the future.

Quotes on Soloman Lane (GB)
The last day was just a disaster with the ground. I was kind of worried when all the rain came today, but it was loose. He's actually better than what he's shown, but he wants everything to go right for him. I said to David 'if you jump the first three here, you'll win'. The last day he didn't jump and he's dynamite to jump. David gave him a grand ride, he's a good young lad and is well able to ride. It's great to win here, he battled away. He's probably as good a jumper as we've ever had. He's lightly raced, he gave a few problems, and he's a big raw horse. He just needed a bit of time. He has little mileage and we'll keep going, we could even drive on during the summer if it keeps raining.

Quotes on Room To Roam (IRE)
that was a bit of a surprise. We know he has the ability, it’s just getting him on a going day really. Emily who rides him every day at home has done a great job on him, he was in good form and two miles on the Flat suited as he is a real stayer. I couldn’t believe how well he travelled out in front. I said I’d just keep it simple and let him roll. He did it well in the end.

Quotes on Mighty Oak Lad (IRE)
there wasn't much pace on and Mighty Oak Lad is a good jumper, so Donagh lobbed away in front. He said he made a mistake at the first in Thurles and his race was over. Everything was happening a bit quick for him around there as he's a big oul horse. I'd say he's definitely suited by a bigger track and I'd say he'll stay hurdling. We'll give him a couple more runs and see if he can improve again.

Quotes on Don't Talk (GER)
There was a little question mark if he would get the two-and-a-half today so I had that in the back of my mind. I would rather be going a stride slower than a stride quicker on that ground as well. I would maybe have preferred if a horse came with me to bring me to the leader but I had to go when I did. He got in tight to the last and was doing the bare minimum in front so hopefully there is another bit of improvement in him. He did it well. Danny gave him a good ride and everything was straightforward, he seemed to improve from the last day. We thought he had. They get caught eventually (by the handicapper) but he's definitely improving and he jumps a fence well. The horses were sick all last year, we just tried to change things around a bit and everything seems healthy now. When they healthy you can make a plan but when they aren't you can't do anything.
