Prairie lands her hat-trick back over timber
Coolio impressive on hurdling debut
He's a speedy horse and I'm delighted with him. He's a real two miler, a quick horse. He'll definitely stay two miles. I think he was almost foot perfect - even down to the last, he got in close to it and quick away from it. A great performance, he jumped class. He came out of Donnchadh's (Doyle) and all those horses are very well schooled. Last year in Punchestown he was running a bit keen and probably got a bit lit up at the end of the season. He's a lot stronger - even watching him walking around the ring, there is a big improvement in him today. Last year he was light. I imagine the Royal Bond will be where he goes, all being well.
Conti collects to give Elliott quick double
Lisa (O'Neill, assistant trainer) is the only judge we have because she said she would win and we all went for the other one (Golden Joy)!. She's not a bad mare and she had graded form last year. I thought she would need the run to honest.
Fahy's charge back in Fashion
He won around here (January 2022) and he ran well enough the last time (January) when he got stopped at the fence past the stand when the other horse made a mistake in front of him. He was second in the Porterstown (last December). If he comes up enough, he will go to the Porterstown, absolutely. He ran well in the Irish National (fifth). He won't go a yard on tacky ground. When you have only a few of them, you need things to go right and sure the ground was right up here. When things go right for him, he would go another mile. He's only getting going.
Envoi on top again at Down Royal after Champion thriller
It was brilliant and he is just a class horse. Everyone at home has done such a great job. Obviously, it is a shame for Rachael but I'm delighted for Darragh, he gave him a super ride and he has really stepped up. Fair play to him, he is taking his opportunities. Cheveley Park are tremendous supporters of ours and the game, so I'm delighted for them as well.
Fifty makes it a treble for Elliott
It was a good performance. Sam said he had a nice blow, and gave a stone to the second horse. He is probably not going to be the easiest horse in the world to place, but a good horse. You'd have to think something like that (John Durkan). He could go up in trip, or you could take him back to two miles the way he jumps.
Creek justifies confidence in finale to give Elliott four again
