The Insider makes it two from two over hurdles for Elliott
It was a rough race and a few horses got very keen, but Davy was kind of in the box seat and settled and his experience counted.
Scenic Looks justifies favouritism in Mares' Maiden
We gave her a break after Galway and freshened her up and I was hoping that would bring her forward which it did. I was expecting her to win, but I wasn't expecting her to win as comfortably. She might come back here in a week's time for the handicap over two miles on the Flat. She'll do both (hurdles and Flat) and will mix and match. I'd say she wouldn't want it (ground) deep although she had a couple of good runs last winter in juvenile hurdles. Her best ground is probably good to yielding. The second run at Galway came a bit too quick and the ground didn't suit her at all. It was heavy going that day. Denis said he always thought he was in control.

More than tough, she's just a baby. We haven't been anywhere and she hasn't had a chance to be on grass. She just was doing everything nicely at home. She's always had an engine. I just said 'God, am I being unfair bringing her here?' She hasn't been away from my farm. I would hope she could be very smart. We won the Mucklemeg (Listed mares' bumper) in Gowran last year. I wanted to run her today to find out if what I thought was correct we'd have the option (to go back). A special rider - it is a privilege to have him (Derek O'Connor) sitting on a horse. The horse didn't know she had a race until the last while and he still looked after her. She actually belongs to a good friend Mark Scott and my wife.
