Quotes on A Law Of Her Own (IRE)

She's tough and when she won her bumper she was as tough as anything as well. It took her a while to get a hang of the jumping and she never really got nice ground so we put her away after her last run,. She's a lovely filly to have and it's great that she's done this. Hopefully she can pick up a bit of black-type somewhere along the way for the lads. She's not short of pace and she'll go back on the Flat as well. They'll have plenty of options with her, she won a point-to-point as well so there's no reason why she can't go either way. It's great to get another winner as they've been running well without winning for the past two days. This gives me reason to celebrate and have the craic!'

Quotes on Fun Fun Fun (IRE)

That was super. The race suited her, a quick enough two miles, and she jumped great, a little bit keen. She'll go to Fairyhouse next, I don't know if two-and-a-half miles there will really suit her but it's mares novice Grade 1 so she'll go there. I can't wait for her to go chasing next year, her pedigree is all staying chasers. I think when she goes over fences she might be able to go out in trip. If she jumps as well she could be hard to catch in those mares chases next year. She wants to win and she just loves jumping. In her bumpers we were trying to hold her up but when she's so good to jump you're better off just letting her roll away and I think that's improved her.

Quotes on Hanoi Jane (IRE)

She had some good runs and last time in Ballinrobe (third) he maybe should have let her roll on a sharper track. She’ll win another one. She jumps well, stays well and might win a little novice chase. The O’Reilly’s (Peter and Rose) also bred her and it’s great for them that she has won here. She’ll keep going for the summer. I must say Punchestown have done an absolutely terrific job with the ground. We have had no rain for a week and it's beautiful ground.

Quotes on Iris Emery (FR)

It was a good performance. For a maiden, first time, she jumped very well and that brought me a lot of the way round. The second had some decent form pre-Christmas and I'd say for a small field it probably wasn't the worst maiden. They are two decent types and it's nice to get the job done with my one. Maidens first time are not normally that straightforward, even out in front on her own. If they were all like that it would be easy.

Quotes on Kilbarry Saint (FR)

She had a good point-to-point run, but became disappointing in the interim when she became free and it took us a while to get the hang of her. She is an honest mare and, even though she is by Saint des Saints, she had a Flat pedigree and her dam is by Martillo. Black-type will be the ultimate aim, she is going the right way now and you'd never know she might be in the right place at the right time some day.

Quotes on Lantry Lady (FR)

she’s entered in the Mares Hurdle at Cheltenham and we’d love to go. It’s a step up in trip but all she does is stay. I’d say she definitely wants a good ease in the ground so we would be cautious of that but the guys would love to go to Cheltenham and I think she is entitled to go. She’s obviously a really nice mare and I’m delighted for the Marigas (owners) who are great supporters of ours. She was impressive winning her maiden hurdle here last year and then we put her away as she was a bit immature. She’s had a couple of niggles so it’s taken us a while to get her going again and I was concerned about fitness and it was only her second run. She’s confirmed what she did in her maiden hurdle and has stepped forward again. She’s a lovely mare to go breeding with in years to come.

Quotes on Miss Pronunciation (IRE)

That was great, she did it well. She's starting to settle a lot better than she was and I'd say that's bringing out the improvement in her. She loves that ground. We had the mother, she was a Topanoora mare and she loved that heavy ground. When it's like that we'll keep going and see what there is. The mother stayed but this one's not slow, I'd say two miles on that ground is her trip. She's improving the whole time.

Quotes on Mount Sinai (IRE)

She was running keen in her bumpers and jumped very well today which improved her and also it helped her to relax. I actually didn't think she'd handle this ground but she loved it. Her brother likes that ground as well but she is very different and is smaller and slighter. The ground is so wet, it is loose though and it is different that dry-heavy - if that makes sense. It was a nice surprise and we won't have any fancy targets, but we'll try to pick up some blacktype somewhere and she has the scope to jump fences as well.

Quotes on Whatcouldhavebeen (IRE)

It's great as we haven't had a great run over the winter, a lot of our horses were under a cloud and just weren't performing. We thought she worked nicely the other morning, herself and Boher Road together. He was giving us a nice run until he decided to exit! That gave us a little bit of confidence that she was back somewhere near her best again. She was second in a Grade 1 at this meeting last year. Since she got her summer break she hasn't been firing and she's just coming back to herself now. We'll probably stick to handicap company for Punchestown. It's great to get her back in front again and back running the way she can run. . Aidan kicked on a long way out. We were a bit worried when Oliver McKiernan's horse (Kilbree Warrior) came out as that is normally the pacesetter. . She was starting to hit a bit of a flat spot in her races so we put the cheekpieces on and she travelled a bit better than she has been. They were just going too steady so it backfired a little bit on us as we had to push the pace on ourselves rather than being brought along. She is game and genuine and stayed at it well. It was a brilliant ride by Aidan, very similar to what he did in the Grade 1 last year. We didn't have Ashroe Diamond catching us down the straight today.
