Quotes on Eagle Fang (IRE)

we thought he would have won his maiden by now, but he’s bumped into a few smart horses. We freshened him up and came here and the Boodles has been the plan with him. He’s a lovely horse for the future and stepping up in trip he’ll be a nice horse next year. He’s tough, not your typical Flat horse and doesn’t do a whole pile at home. We’d like to see a bit of rain for Cheltenham, and he should get into the race now.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Aspire Tower (IRE)

I thought he did it really impressively. He went a really good gallop and jumped great. The Grade One back here in February is an obvious race to go for, but we’ll talk to the owners and see what they want to do. He had the profile of one on the Flat that you would like to go hurdling with. I’d imagine good jumping ground would be alright for him as he’s run on faster ground on the Flat.

Quotes on Byker (IRE)

he's a lovely fine big horse, had a nice run in Limerick and came forward from that. We were hopeful today but there was so much word for a few others that we were getting worried. He was in the right place all the time and looked a winner a long way out.

Quotes on Pied Piper (GB)

We didn't want to make the running, he idles in front. We obviously didn't want to make it, but we had to make it. Jack said he was just cantering around and he did more in a piece of work at home. He just said he missed the last.
