Coscorrig benefits from Archie Boys fall
We had a bit of luck today. She's not too bad and she's had some very good runs in good races. She has given us plenty of enjoyment. I'm not sure where we'll go next but we will give her a bit of time.
O'Hare at his best aboard Larry Luso
He ran well here the last day and going on that run we gave him a chance. He appreciates that quick ground even though he is a big horse. If he goes up enough we will aim him for the Summer National at Uttoxetter, he needs a big galloping track. Mark [O'Hare] gave him a good ride, he rides well.
That was well deserved she is a nice filly. She loves the quick ground my only concern today was to make sure the ground was safe. She never got her ground last Summer, she will stay over hurdles for the time being and hopefully we'll pick up another pot.
Stanton Court causes a surprise
That was a wonderful win and quite unexpected to be honest. His race in Clonmel had really sharpened him up and brought him up to this standard. He's a real chaser in the making a staying chaser I think so it's great he has such a good turn of foot because he will stay. He will keep hurdling for the time being to get more experience and he will go chasing next year. Punchestown is like the mecca, the groundsmen here do a wonderful job with the track it's always in perfect condition.
Carberry back in the winners enclosure
I'm delighted for Paul [Carberry] as it's been awhile since he rode a winner, he's had a rough old time of it with injuries. This lad probably should have won at the North, Davy [Condon] got left at the start and then two fell in front of him. Two miles is probably too short for him, he lacks a bit of pace and all he does is stay. He needs quick ground and it's taken me awhile to realise that. He has had a few problems in the past, he went to Cheltenham with a chance and he came home lame, he pulled a ligament.

Carberry completes Punchestown double
I thought he was in trouble from the start as he had a lot of ground to make up over a short a trip but Paul [Carberry] gave him an absolute peach. Credit to the jockey and to the horse. I am delighted for the owner Mona Masterson and I would like to thank her for her patience and support. It's great to get back on the winning trail. He'll go back over fences now. We'll keep the Plate in mind for him now.

King takes the last at Punchestown
This wasn't exactly the plan when he was bought as a yearling. We gave him a little break and he just grew and grew so then it was time for Plan B. We've always thought a lot of him. I was impressed with the jockey too, he's getting very brave in his old age. We'll keep him on the go throughout the Summer now as he loves the quick ground.
