Thurles Sat, 21st Dec, 2024  Bayrann He is progressing, every run is better and he is getting the hang of it. He is hard work before his races as he is mad to get on with it but once he is off and galloping, he knows what to do. Valiranns are like that but they have engines. He will be a lovely horse and will be better over a fence. He has plenty pace, jumps well and I'd say he will go on any ground. He has the right attitude and tries his heart out. We'll go down the handicap route now and if he can stay on the same mark (106), we'll be happy!

She probably wouldn't have won otherwise, but I think she'd have been in the money as she ran well here last week. She is a nice mare and will come back here for a Listed novice before Christmas. She is a good ground filly, is getting better with every run, and that will boost her confidence. Her year will be over once the ground gets too soft.
