Guaranteed follows in father's hoof-prints
He has a bit of learning to do yet. He was green the last day and was still green today. He's still a work in progress,. He's in the Futurity and that's a possibility. Bold Approach will run in the Tyros next Thursday and we'll be keeping them apart.
Revenge is sweet for Ice Cold In Alex
He's been knocking on the door and he's got just rewards for his consistency,. Apart from his first run back of the year, which he needed and it was very soft ground at Navan, the rest of his runs have been consistent. He was second at Leopardstown and the last day here, on Derby weekend, he just got into a bit of a barging match and didn't get to run his race. We said that day that we'd wait for this. He likes the Curragh, likes level fair tracks, and it's great that all his connections are here today to enjoy it. He's a great fun horse and hopefully he might get another win before the season is out. Seven or a mile is good for him and he actually won a five furlong sprint here last year so he's quite versatile but just likes quick ground. He's in again on Wednesday and we'll see what the handicapper does. We'll see how he comes out of it. Galway probably wouldn't suit him. He likes galloping tracks and likes to come off a strong pace.
Intisaab takes the Scurry under Tudhope for O'Meara
That was great. He's a very good horse. He won in Qatar this year, a very valuable race out there, and won a conditions race at Haydock so he's borderline better than handicap company at his best. He seems to like big fields, and quick conditions to really show his best. That suited him down to the ground and the further he went in the race the better he was looking. He needs a good fast pace and plenty of horses to aim at. He was drawn this side so Danny was keen to go right hand down a bit and get behind a few. He could possibly come back here for Champions Weekend. He was second in the 'Bold Lad' here two years ago to David Barron's New Bidder.
Diamond shines in the Anglesey
O'Meara & Doyle double-up as Lad makes all
We were hopeful that both horses had a great chance coming over,. I feel a small bit sorry for the owner of the second, Steve Barker, who is here but someone had to win it and I'm glad Larchmont Lad did it for Cheveley Park as well. He was unlucky when he came over here last year and won and subsequently lost it in the stewards room. For Mr and Mrs Thompson to allow me to take him back here and win a race is good. He's a very straight-forward horse and he's quite tough. I gave James a free hand to do what he wanted and he gave him a fantastic ride. I'll speak to Chris Richardson, who manages all the horses for Cheveley Park and see what he wants to do now. So Beloved is an eight-year-old and it's a credit to him to still be running so well at this age. He'll probably go to the Lennox next and have a crack at that. He ran a really good race there last year when fifth and not beaten far.
