Onwards and upwards for impressive Burmese Waltz
She’s a sweetheart as Colin said and just turns up and does what it says on the tin. He said she floated there and the first thing he did was apologise as he couldn’t hear in the wind and didn’t realise he was that far clear. It was trainer error as I didn’t realise the conditions of this race had changed until entry day and if I’d have known that I would probably have left Inverleigh alone and not let them take each other on at Leopardstown. We hold an entry in the Dick Poole at Salisbury and if not it would be the Blenheim. We like her and I love the sire Showcasing. It’s black-type after this.

Whelan and Cappadocia team up well for victory
Ronan gave him a brilliant ride. He had a good run in Galway after a long break, and this race came up nicely for him.
Bargain buy Geological does it again for English
They gave him an easy lead and when he gets it he’s deadly dangerous. He loves this place and it’s a nice pot to win. We’ll probably keep him for here now, and I’d love to qualify him for the All-Weather Championship in Lingfield. We might even travel to England if we can’t qualify here. He’s some money spinner and is all heart.

Trainer Davison savours first career success
She’s a nice filly and has shown me a lot from the start. She ran well first time out and worked well during the week so I knew she had gone the right way from her first run. I think she’s a progressive filly and I’m excited about her. She’s a half-sister to London Icon. She’s big, has great substance and takes her racing well. We might look at the Stakes race in Leopardstown on Irish Champions Weekend. I’ve ten in training. Initially I held a restricted licence but upgraded to a full licence last Christmas after getting further support.
