Heel from heel by a neck at Navan
Truth Prevails registers important win
She's a well-bred little filly by Siyouni and it's very important to get her to win a maiden,. We'll try and get a bit of black-type by the end of the year, she loves that soft ground. Declan rode her last week and said he gave her too much light so he wanted to cover her up and gave her a lovely bit of cover today. He said he just hit the front too soon as she picked them up very easy but I liked the way she battled back. We are learning about her. I'm delighted for Johnny Connaughton who bought her as a foal but wasn't getting enough for her as a yearling. She'll join his broodmare band if she can get some black-type.

He was quite unlucky first time out this year when he clipped heels and should have won. We don't know what happened to him the last day. That's a good kick for Rob, the guy leading him up. He's the owner's son and rides him out most days. He's working with horses all his life. The owner's wife is sick at the moment so it will be a good boost for her as well. He's a consistent sort and he's not winning out of turn. We fancied him today but these are tricky handicaps.

He did it nicely. Nathan gave him a great ride, I told him to follow the leaders and he gave him a lovely ride,. He stays the trip well and handles that ground. He's a very honest little horse and a great horse to have. The owners (the McNallys) are very good and have a lot of patience.
