Prendergast doubles up with smart King
He (Wandering Aengus) was well due it and it's a good day. John Egan rode this fellow work at Punchestown one day and said he was very good. Everything went wrong at the Curragh and he met with trouble in running. Everything went wrong at Bellewstown as well as he jumped the road. Declan came in and said that he was smart. He met trouble in running again today and without it he would probably have won by six lengths. I don't usually run my maidens in winners in races but I had no worries about taking them on.

Ridestan lands gamble for Hogan

Mullins and Townend win mares' maiden
she is a seven year old mare who has had her problems but has lots of ability and loves that ground. We'll look for a mares' winners of one now and hopefully she'll improve again. Her owner Nigel King, from Nottingham, has been very patient and flew over to see her today.
Lady surprises on first start for Nicholson
I was a bit slow starting this year but I've a couple of good excuses to go to Galway now (won with Up The Hill at Roscommon last week). Ronan only lives only over the road from me and I only have her a month. He put pressure on me to run her because he is leaving for America at three in the morning.
Mullins doubles up with Daring Carlotta
She ran a bit keen and I thought she idled in front and I thought there was a bit more there. She is very well bred and I think she has got an engine. I think there is a mares winners of two bumper for her in Wexford after Galway.
