Blackmore & de Bromhead combine again with Queen Jane
Kingfisher Lane edges out rivals for 33/1 shock
He has been disappointing over hurdles. He had a couple of really good runs in bumpers and ran well in a bumper here in the spring and finished second. In his first couple of runs over hurdles he was running well and unseated and then he just had a few disappointing efforts, but he is starting to get the act together. He's still green enough yet. He'll stay. We were a wee bit worried about the drop back in trip, he is probably a horse that wants to go over further but it was a race that was here. He is a home-bred so that is even sweeter. The horse in the first (third-placed The Flier Begley) is a wee bit the same and probably wants stepped up in trip.
Journey West delivers in north
He had run in a couple of right good maiden hurdles in Navan and places and finished eighth and ninth. In Limerick the last day we told Ryan Treacy to do something different with this horse, to jump him out and let him rattle. I knew after he had gone a hurdle I'd given him the wrong instructions. Then we took him home and did a couple of bits of work. He should have been doing that a long time ago. We put a set of blinds on him and it has got the ability out of him. Shane (O'Callaghan) gave him a nice ride and was very quiet on him and let him creep away and creep away. He's actually in at Punchestown on Tuesday and Wexford on Wednesday and if he eats up and all goes well, he will turn up somewhere if it keeps raining.

Handy for Headon in Hunters Chase
He's brilliant (at jumping). Ben said coming in that he is a different horse on good ground and that was too soft for him.
