Jezki's campaign starts well
That was plan A to win his maiden hurdle. I don't know where the next stage will be. We are delighted the way he handled the heavy ground. It wasn't ideal, but he got away with it. He would definitely appreciate better ground. Barry said he was a bit spooky at the last and if he jumped it better he would have won easier.
Hidden Cyclone could be a force
He hadn't run for 9 months so he wouldn't have been spot on for this. He'll improve in his fitness and jumping. He's going to be a three mile chaser and today was only two miles. Andrew said he was a bit leery after the last but he had plenty in the tank. He would want to improve his jumping, but he won't run at two miles. He'll be up to two and a half. There's a nice race for him at Gowran in a month's time. He's won twice at Leopardstown so there's no reason we wouldn't go for the Lexus.

Tic wins for Kidd family
They (winners) are few and far between so it's nice to win a big one,. She's a good mare and has been second to the likes of Shadow Eile and Sea Of Thunder. The key is running her fresh on this heavy ground and on a big galloping track. We'll see what the handicapper says and she'll stay over hurdles for another couple of runs. The owner (mother Amy) is in Spain so that will keep her happy. She's a half-sister to Back Of The Pack, who won seven for me and won a graded race so it's a good family.
