Empire Theatre wins Fairyhouse opener
Empire Theatre was close enough when he made a bad mistake at Navan last time out and its nice to have him back at his best today.
Alaivan books Cheltenham ticket
Alaivan disappointed us at Christmas but was obviously beaten by a very good horse. However, I think today's win, and his debut win, were better performances than his Christmas run and his jumping has improved too.
Mullins/Townend score with Dorset Square
Dorset Square is only a handy sized horse and is better racing with lighter weights under 10st07lbs. Opportunities will prove difficult to find with him now but he wont have much problem staying three miles.
Hughes duo Aintree bound
I was delighted with both horses' Grand National weights when they were published recently and today was a fantastic result - we now have two Aintree contenders!
Becauseicouldntsee Cheltenham bound
I thought Becauseicouldntsee was a proper horse once but I placed him very badly in his races thus far!
Nedzer successfully Returns from injury
he broke a bone in his leg 18 months ago and we left him out in a field and thought he'd never run again.
Day delivers for Mullins
Day Of A Lifetime showed me today what he had been showing me at home and he'll go to Cheltenham . ground is no problem for him and he'd nearly prefer a better surface.
