De Bromhead one two in Gowran opener

I was hoping she would improve from her run in Roscommon and on the better ground. She's a well-bred filly and is finding her feet. She could go for a novice now,. The owners David and Anne Moon are from Jersey, and had hoses with me when I started training. In fact David bought a filly from my father about 50 years ago so the association goes back a long time. I was delighted with the second (Sir Benford Wales) as well. He kept on well and could go for a bumper next.

Ruby steps in for Davy to win

He was tough. I thought going to the second last that I might get beat but when I was in front at the last I felt my horse's fitness would tell.

Omega times it right to open account

Airlie Beach makes it five from five

She seems to be improving, and whether she can handle winter ground is another thing. We will look at the mares’ novice programme for her. She’s surprising us with the way she keeps pulling it out, and hopefully she’s not stopped improving.

Longsdon raider takes big Gowran prize

I've always loved her. The owner (Marietta Fox-Pitt) is a great friend of Jessica Harrington, and after running at Aintree she said why not go for this race. We didn't expect it to be quite as strong,.
