After race at Fairyhouse Sun, 22nd Jan, 2012 (1st)

Ceol Rua's jumping has improved and it made all the difference. She is learning with experience and I imagine the mares' hurdle at Punchestown should be the aim. She'll probably go for a novice hurdle in between and her pedigree suggests she wants better ground . she had a good run at Aintree on good ground. When they go faster, her jumping will be better - I was impressed by the way she dug it out after she was passed today.

After race at Fairyhouse Wed, 16th Nov, 2011 (1st)

Ceol Rua jumped a lot better today than her previous run and is improving, although she is still very careful. She'll move up in grade gradually and I'd like to find a mares' race for her, otherwise we'll find a winners' of one.

W P Mullins

After race at Punchestown Fri, 31st Dec, 2010 (1st)

Ceol Rua learned a lot from her run at Naas the last day and while she was green then, knew her job today. She'll go jumping now.
