Impressive Fresnel gives Davison his 2nd winner
I'm always conscious not to push the fillies too much before we get them to the track but her work had been good,. Everything I'd worked her with she'd had their measure but as I said I like to leave a little bit for the track. She showed me what I thought she was capable of here. She's still got a little bit of growing to do. She's not the biggest, she's still not fully mature, so for her to tough it out from the front in that headwind is a testament to her. I'd imagine she'll get a mile-and-a-half in time so we were keen to make plenty of use of her today over a mile. We'll take her up gradually and slowly. We'll see how she recovers and take it from there. I have my full licence about a year. I came from a breeding background then I got on the Godolphin course and really got into the training and racing side of things. It's what really excited me. I made the decision to go down that route and worked for some good people and got some good experience. I've got 12 in now and I'm keeping the head down and trying to get a system in place at home. It's great to see the result on the track as it gives you great confidence and belief. It's all about winners and results and there is no better way to advertise myself and the team.
McCann has 1-2 led home by new recruit Hasselnott
All I did was freshen him up. Denis Hogan and the boys had him right for the last night,. We thought he was in with a big shout. We knew we were probably stretching Togoville a little bit but he ran a blinder too and we're very very happy with him.
Debut run does O'Brien's Road "the world of good"
Cappadocia gains a 5th Dundalk win
He's a right horse. That's his first time winning here over seven. Ronan gets on brilliant with him,. It probably helped today that they didn't go hard over seven. He really is a six furlong horse. He loves it here and we'll keep him going.
Amazing One off the mark at the 15th attempt
He gave him a great ride and just got there which was grand,. He got 5lb for finishing second ages back and I thought it was unbelievably harsh. We've no big plans and we'll keep him on the go here.
Ice Bullet lands a gamble for famous connections
It's great to get a winner. It's been a long year and we haven't had a winner in a while so I'm delighted,. He's rated 45. I'm trying to weed them out and I'm glad he got his head in front there because it's bottom of the barrel stuff. Niall said he seemed to get the trip well and hopefully he doesn't go up too much so he can come back here for something similar. He was rated 45 but he seemed to be going well at home. He's a small little horse and I think his future lies up here. If he wasn't competitive tonight he was in trouble. Ciaran Kilkenny owns a little bit of him. He should be resting up for tomorrow but we got him out for tonight. He was pretty excited and it's great to have him on board.
Dream getting better for McGuinness and Daly
I was giving out about the handicapper the last night but I'm going to take him for a drink tonight and see if I can sweeten him up!.
Meade maintains top-form - at Dundalk
She handles the track. I suppose I'll have to kick myself now as the first time I ran her over a mile-and-a-quarter was the last time. I was lucky she wasn't claimed as I had her in cheap enough,. It looks like that trip suits her a lot better than the mile, or seven, she has been running over. She handles the fast ground and she's a grand little thing, we don't have to do too much with her. Hopefully she'll be back here again. I wouldn't be surprised if she even goes further. She's bred sharp and short but she looks like she gets the trip well. I often find that with us National Hunt trainers the horses seem to stay a little bit further and it's probably the way we train them different than the Flat lads. She got the trip well and got a good ride.
