Lass enjoys patient McGovern approach
Dropping into that sort of grade she had to go close,. She was pretty closely handicapped with Hes Our Music and she runs well around here. She would have improved from her run two weeks ago. She takes a couple of runs to get her right. I put her in for €16,000 so if she goes she goes. She wouldn't have the best joints in the world and she doesn't really like the grass.
Gravity "thriving on his racing"
Duchess really rolling now
The win the last night gave her confidence. She travelled well and picked up well,. We'll keep going. She seems to be enjoying her racing and her confidence is good. We upped her grade before and she struggled a bit but when she came back down she won. She looks terrific, she's not even clipped, and could be a filly just turning a corner. I always thought more of her than she showed us. That seems a good trip for her, she travels comfortably. She got some very bad draws in the past and bad luck in running. That was the best draw she's had in a while.
Try wins Again over Dundalk's mile
I'd say he was just a bit weak and he's definitely improving a bit. I'd say he'll probably go hurdling with a bit of ease in the summer. He might also have a go on the turf somewhere on easier ground. He just idled a bit and might just be feeling it a little bit here. It's maybe just a little quick for him.
Tuff Love short heads Jon
We're delighted by that. He took a little bit of time to come, being a Casamento, but we always liked him,. He was bought knowing he'd need time so we gave him the time and these races are just fitting in lovely for us in the winter. If he didn't win tonight it wasn't the be all and end all as there was another race for him in three weeks. We knew he had class and that class got him up there. Colin said he was very very green. He's a proper miler and wouldn't want it too quick in the summer. We're not surprised what he's after doing. We'll take it from there but he will improve a lot. There is a winners of one in four weeks which could fit in ideally but we'll see what Ger says. He'll tell us when he comes home. He's an absolute gentleman of a horse. He's never been away and that's his first real hard piece of work.
