Shumaker fends off Dakota Moirette

He's been great and he can do everything really,. We weren't sure coming here how he would handle the big fences but thank-God he jumped well and Darragh (O'Keeffe) knows him better than anyone. He said he jumped great and he's cute because when he's slightly wrong he can get himself out of trouble. We'll see what turns up for him now. There might not be much for him until the end of October or start of November.

Jumping wins it for Jack Hackett

We tried him over hurdles a few times but his jumping is what gets him there, he's a magnificent jumper. We were very pleased today and Rachael gave him a class ride. He's fit, he's well and he loves jumping. Now he might get a little rest as he's been running quite consistently lately.

Dewcup wins another in Punchestown

He's a nice horse and he's going the right way. With Noel's horse (Beacon Edge) out of it, he was probably the best of the horses that had won their maidens. I'd say something must have happened to Henry's horse (Fusain), he dropped out of it completely. Not to take away from Curlew Hill but you'd expect him to do that if he was going to go to the next step. Mark was delighted with the manner he did it in. There will be plenty more questions to be answered from here on in. I think he's capable of winning a nice Flat race. We could go to Thurles next week for a maiden but I'd doubt it now after that as it's a bit quick. I'd like to get another run into him on the Flat. He ran into a good mare in Bellewstown but she's a 105-rated mare. He's a grand sound, honest, horse and a good fella owns him so there is no great pressure. He's after winning four and will win plenty more races. What height he''ll reach only God knows. They are about 126 horses and the next step is a 140 horse. Noel's horse was 142 if you had been taking him on. He's a good ground horse and we could maybe look at Leopardstown Christmas or Fairyhouse if it was good ground.

Jimmy Jimmy takes incident-packed last

We were probably a fortunate winner,. Jack said he was coming back though and that he wasn't beaten. I thought if the leader had winged it he might have been hard to get past. I'd say Rachael's horse was idling, we needed a good jump and for her to have a bad jump. It's not a nice way to have a winner but we've been on the other side too. He's a grand honest horse, he gallops and he jumps. We'll try and find a winners race for him.
