Abraham makes up for Gowran mishap
He unseated Sean (Flanagan) at Gowran so I was hoping he'd get down over the first couple today! . At home he jumps well but he was wide at Gowran when we said we'd give him a little light and he ducked left and right but Sean said he was good today. I'm delighted with that and he'll come on a tonne from it as he is still a big baby. He'll run on the flat at Galway next - in the race he was beaten a short-head in last year, and will then mix it for the rest of the summer.
Deor wins on hurdles debut
It's nice to get him back - he had a slight injury and we thought we'd bring him back and let him enjoy himself. It was always the intention to go hurdling but we could get another flat race out of him again. He always showed ability and seems to have retained it now and jumped well and got a nice ride. Galway is an option but we'll have to see how he comes out of the race first.
Mr Champers wins for Keatley/Loughran
Major provides Flanagan with a double
Treble for Flanagan as Rashaan sprints home
He has some attitude and it just proves last week that he just hates going left-handed and easy-fix hurdles. We examined him and found absolutely nothing wrong with him and was bouncing out of his skin all week so I said we'd run again. Two miles over hurdles is now too sharp for him and he'll go for the Amateur Riders Handicap at Galway next. I've nobody booked to ride yet but we'll see what weight he gets although off a rating of 86 on the flat he should be competitive. Without a doubt I'd like to step him up to three miles rather than back down to two (miles) and that's nine wins now. He's unbelievable and keeps coming back for more but we'll never go left-handed with him again. Myself and Sean (Flanagan) go back a long, long way and I'm delighted to be part of his first treble - he's riding out of his skin.
Pixie Lane scores for Bowe/Doyle
Katie another for team Mullins
She was very very green all the way - she doesn't show an awful lot at home but is obviously better on the track and I think there's improvement in her. She loves that ground and I'm not sure what the plan is now and whether she goes for a hurdle or winners' bumper. She has a bit of ability and it is hard to say if she will be a winter mare but we will keep going with her until she tells us to stop. That (11st 3lbs) is about as light as I can do although I see there's a few nice ones entered in the Havasnack next week in Killarney at 11st!
