Sapphire Lady returns in good form
That was a nice performance off a lay-off on that slow ground. She jumps well and hopefully she can build more on that. She’d have no problem going into handicaps the way she jumped there. The ground is a bit dead because it’s drying but I don’t think it’s as deep as we were expecting it to be. It’s lovely jumping ground — you’d run a winter horse on it.

Mullins' double up with Bleu Berry
It was a nice performance. We were a bit wrong at the weights but a Coral Cup winner in the past - he’s always a class horse. He benefitted from the run here at the Festival (when unplaced in a Grade B handicap hurdle). He didn’t run too bad that day for a first run back. He was a bit fresh early but got his head down when it mattered.

Banbridge gives O'Brien his double
Queally eyes Galway Hurdle for Arcadian Sunrise
He has a bit of Flat speed and is rated 89 on the Flat. He’ll probably get a good hike for that and it might get him into a Galway Hurdle. We’ll mix it and will enter him in the two and a half miles Ascot Stakes. It is two weeks away but he didn’t take too much out of himself today. He’s a fun horse and my wife (Miriam) owns him which is even better!. He was a bit unlucky here the last time at the Festival where he missed the break and was a long way back.
