Katoptris another for Cromwell at Kilbeggan
She's a four-year-old and is still a bit weak but in fairness she dug deep. She's improving all the time and the better ground obviously helped. She'll be a lovely mare for breeding later on.
Ravenhill follows-up on Downpatrick success
Davy gave him a good ride and said he just had to sit and sit. He didn't go too wide on him because he's a big horse. He was good and brave, and winged the last. It was close but we got there. I was a bit nervous running back so quick but it was a good opportunity. He does nothing fancy at home but keeps galloping. Going up in trip didn't do any harm and I’d say he’ll jump a fence sooner rather than later. He's a big chaser.
McCarthy on the mark with cheap buy Directional
I picked him up for 800 at Ascot two years ago and I'm delighted for the lads (Tingle Syndicate from North Kerry) who have been very patient. He won a point-to-point by ten lengths the last day and that made a man of him. He loves that good ground. I've seven in training at present. Things are going fairly well at the moment and I'm looking at expanding.
Treasure battles gamely to see off Mullins pair
Prolific Robin gets back to winning ways
Draycott not for passing under Mullins
He ran a bit flat in Punchestown where the ground was probably a bit quick for him. He's as tough as nails, and they have done a brilliant job on the ground here. I can't understand the price he was this evening as I thought this wasn't as good a race as the one he won in Listowel. He was wrong all last year, and had a few wind operations that went astray. He has the heart of a lion. You have to keep running him as he always carries a bit more weight than you would like.
Surveillance takes the last in style
I've always thought a lot of this one but she ran twice on heavy ground and didn’t like it. Her mother didn’t like it either and we said that we’d give her a break. She works great, and she opened up fairly quick turning into the straight. She is a great jumper, and we might go to Galway now for a maiden hurdle. Hopefully she'll get that ground. Conor (22) is an older brother of Oisin and he rides out for us in the yard. That's his third winner in the space of a month (since returning from the UK).
