In-foal Oilily justifies odds-on favouritisim
Ruby said to run her in a flat race next. She might run in something like the amateur handicap (formerly the GPT) in Galway, although she seems to prefer a flat, speedy track.She is in-foal to Presenting, she seems sweeter now and she loves this ground.She was covered six weeks ago and we will keep her on the go but we will mind her.

Thirteenth time lucky for C'est La Mode
She had a few ordinary runs but wasn't dropped that much by the handicapper and she'll probably get hit now.She pulled up a bit lame so hopefully she will be alright. If she is ok, we might go for something similar and maybe a mares hurdle in Galway.It's taken us six months to get there, she is a nice mare, with a nice pedigree and she is worth more now that what I paid for her. The winner was purchased for just €1,500 at the Goresbridge Sales back in July of 2010 by her former owner. Additional reporting by Thomas Weekes
Fairview Stars at Cork
it's nice to get that with him . he has transformed this year and I don't know why!. you could call it a well-timed ride from Eddie but he said afterwards that the ground was plenty quick enough for him. He normally jumps well but wasn't letting fly at his hurdles today as the ground was so quick. He could go for a novice or handicap hurdle next and also has the option of going back on the Flat. The 1m4f handicap on the Friday evening at Galway is an option for him.
Gamble landed as Don delivers
Double for Condon as well-backed Icon scores
Things didn't go right for him at Punchestown (finished seventh on his last start).He didn't see the first three hurdles and things didn't happened for him after that.We had him entered in the two mile and three mile maiden hurdles this evening but we decided to go for this one.He is bred to stay and I thought he would go very close.We will stick to the bigger tracks with him and I don't think he would handle Galway.He might go for a winners hurdle back here after Galway.It looks as though our mare in the last (Kauto Mill Rose) broke down, and she would have loved the ground.

Scienter wins for Roche & the Powers'
Bach To Whitingbay impresses in the finale
I have my licence seven weeks and that is my third winner. He was impressive at Gowran but his point-to-point form was good. He was ten lengths clear and a fence clear on two different days but he fell at the last both times. He pulled muscles in his shoulder and that's why he was off but he was back in work twelve months before Gowran and he was hopping fit. He is for sale but I heard nothing back from the people who contacted me after Gowran. He might go to the Doncaster Sales or else he could go for a winners of two at Galway. He is a brilliant jumper.
