Belle best in Cork opener

Time comes good for Levins

We always liked him as a two year old but we possibly ran him too much and hence we ended up with a low rating,. He strengthened up over the winter and appreciated the ground and isn't slow and will stay seven (furlongs). I'm looking forward to him climbing up the ranks now. That's Sean's second winner and is a very hard working young lad and gets the train down from Dublin every morning at 6am, then gets back for late classes in school and will sit his Leaving Cert in June.

Weld's Jewel Maker lands Cork maiden

he did what you'd expect him to do and is a colt that will really appreciate better ground and we'd hope to get black-type with him in the coming weeks. Distance-wise he wants seven to a mile and is a good actioned horse. He struggled a little bit when he left him down but it was a bit of inexperience and I think he's a horse who will come on considerably so I was just pleased to win with him today.

Flattering impressive on return

Shakespearean character lands gamble for 'shrewdie' O'Brien

her owner Clive Washbourn is a massive enthusiast and she is his first horse in Ireland and I'm very grateful to have her. She has been a pleasure to train, is very straightforward and hopefully there'll be another day or 2 in her. She's in again at Roscommon Tuesday buy may not need to go 12f yet. I'll chat to Billy and see how she is.

Treble for Weld & McDonogh as Eagle strikes

That was a very pleasing day and they were three nice winners,. It was a good performance and we ran him in a bumper in January, when we were obviously wrong, but we thought he'd stay the two miles trip but he didn't. He handled the ground but didn't stay. A mile to 1m2f horse is what he and it was a good battling performance and we'll look for a handicap next. It was a good ride from the pilot and he was strong; he was once a Champion Jockey and I keep reminding him.
