Martello justifies odds-on favouritism

Sailors can't cope with smart Fox

He was well in at the weights (carried six pound less than Sailors Warn, and twelve pounds less than Aerlite Supreme). He had never run over two and a half before, so it was a case of whether or not he would get the trip, but he did win his beginners chase over two mile one at Galway. He even looked better suited there over that trip and he has got a great turn of foot. He is only coming back now to what I thought he once was.

Chute records deserved success

He has been knocking on the door and he deserved it.

Outsider Hawk denies front-running Polly

On his bumper form he would have won by a street, but he had lost his way a bit, and heavy ground didn't suit, and I'm putting it down to the heavy ground. He will go for something similar now and I hope the handicapper isn't too hard on him.

Busy makes all to win the Killarney National

Every time we get into the red he keeps getting us out of trouble. I very nearly didn't run him due to the watering and the ground changing (went yielding to soft after the fourth), but he loves this place and he has won here before and has been placed here. David gave him a very positive ride. We dropped him in Punchestown but now its seems that was the wrong thing to have done. He has won twice at Galway and we might get him into the bottom of the Galway Plate now.

Fringe shows his class in easy win

Mullins & Connell double up in the last

She had a lovely couple of runs during the winter but then I left her down as I thought she was immature. She was June foal. She will be nice to go over hurdles, but I'll have to talk to Barry about what she does next.
