Going - Good, Good to Firm in places. Dry
Oxford Rock off the mark under Wayne Hassett
Inishmot Prince gets up to register first win on turf
I would have been disappointed if he got beaten the form he was in at home. Since Bellewstown, he really came on very well. He is 21lb lower on grass than he is on all-weather, but he needed every yard of it. You don't want muddling pace, he has to have something fast and something to aim at. James said he had a job pulling him up, he only got going at the end. I was going to put him in at Fairyhouse on Monday, but I just don't think Fairyhouse suits him. It is six furlongs on a bend and is just too muddling for him, he needs room. Six up the Curragh in one of those handicaps if the ground stays dry and then back to Dundalk.
Bucaneer's Spirit in the groove for Davison
He's like something you would see in the winner's enclosure at Cheltenham! . Two wins, a second and a third for us from four runs - so all is good. He is improving, physically as well. He is not the finished article. Hopefully, the best is yet to come.
Sidiza makes it third time lucky for Weld and Roche
Roche grabs brace through Plunkett Street
To be honest, we were kind of too far out the last day in Clonmel. She (third-placed in Clonmel, Keilah) went on to win and be second, so we thought we would be thereabouts. He was idling there towards the end and one she (Keilah) came to him, he picked it up again. I'm very happy with that and it is a help!
Hello Neighbour lands tidy gamble on racecourse debut
A nice horse. He has a great mind and I was very surprised that he was keen early, but look I suppose first run. He pulled for probably a mile and a-quarter in the race or more and still finished. He did well as he probably got there plenty soon enough and then he idled. It was a good performance. I expected him to run well, but you don't know when you are coming first time and horses in there with good ratings and they have experience. He could come back to a mile and a-half. It wasn't my intention to start him off over a mile and six, but I did want to start him off on a nice track. I probably would have preferred if it was a mile and a-half today, but there's not that many maidens at those distances. I'll talk to the owners and see where we go from here.
Robbies Rock gives Cromwell and Carroll closing race double
He's a very big, raw horse and hopefully there is a bit of improvement there. For a horse that has had a few runs, he's still fairly raw but he went to the line well. The rail was a help to him. He's never made a noise at home or anything like that but what he did do, the last day in Killarney over hurdles, he made a mistake at the first and just kind of held his breath. We just stuck the tongue-tie on to maybe rule it out.
