Fools Glory brings home the money
Timourid a cosy winner under McAteer
I don't really know much about him as I don't have him that long(ex James McAuley). He ran so many times at Dundalk but I felt he wanted a cut in the ground. The boys didn't want to run him because he had no form on that ground but I felt he was more comfortable on it. The boys want to go to Galway so we'll try and aim for that. I don't think that ground is essential for him but the seven furlongs is probably ideal on that sort of ground for him. He was beaten by a very well handicapped horse the last day. In fairness, he was flat out the last day on the quicker ground at Leopardstown and that might suit him too, being flat out and coming home. Hopefully he should win another anyway, it looked like he had a bit left at the end.

Lord Erskine and Rutledge team up to win
Hopefully he's looking down, he was a great man to have and a big loss,. Siobhan listened to me, he wants two miles and she got him up there on the outside. She's very good for her 5lb claim. She was good because he was out very slow and she made her way up the outside. I was glad to see the rain, I wouldn't have run him if it hadn't come so we were just lucky. It's nice to get one.
First and last-race double for Manning
He's an absolutely smashing young horse. You are going to hear an awful lot more about him. He's by a champion young sire in Japan called Danon Ballade, who is by Deep Impact. He's little but he is seriously tough, genuine, talented and 100 per cent sound.
