Quotes on If You Let Me (GB)
It was a nice opportunity and he jumped really well and loved that ground. We fancied him a few days in bumpers and he just didn’t find anything off the bridle and you’d wonder if something came to him what there would be there. Hopefully that will give him a bit of confidence and he’ll be campaigned over the summer.

Quotes on Cut The Rope (FR)
we can't take a whole lot of praise for this one as it goes to Richard O'Brien - we don't have him very long. Richard had recommended him to us and we bought him after doing a gallop. We made a mistake last year, he told us he'd win this bumper with Impulsive Dancer but we didn't act quickly enough. Impulsive Dancer won and Willie (Mullins) bought him, but thankfully we haven't made the same mistake twice!. Richard did a wonderful job, he's a lovely straight fella and a great fella to deal with. He trained him basically as he's not long in our place. He's a lovely relaxed horse, showed a great attitude today and is a real pro. Barry O'Neill would ride all our bumper horses but part of the deal (with O'Brien) was that Eoin would keep the ride. He gave him a super ride and dictated everything in front. He's a very likeable horse. We have no plans but he might go to Limerick for a listed bumper.

Quotes on Lady Bresil (IRE)
I'm delighted for the Holians and she is a lovely mare who jumped well, despite jumping a bit left. Rachael said she was still a bit green in front and hopefully can come on plenty for it. She came to us a few months ago, she has tipped away nicely and we went to a racecourse gallop at Thurles thinking she would either go on break or have a run. She worked well so we said we'd run her. I haven't thought beyond today, but she will jump fences eventually.

Quotes on Marlpark (IRE)
He has been disappointing up until now as we thought the world of him from the get-go. I bought him from Will Delaney as he is a half-brother to both Kilcarry Bridge and Kilashee (stablemates) and is out of a half-sister to Hear The Echo. He is a proper little horse and there's no reason he won't go forward now. Shane gave him a peach of a ride and really switched him off in front. He was running a huge race when falling at Fairyhouse - I'm not a huge fan of those new hurdles and I think he would have finished third then. What level this horse is at I'm not sure, but he'll probably go for a rated novice next.
