Chip cruises home in Kilbeggan opener
We've always thought the world of him but he's been a very unlucky horse,. In his first two bumpers he ran away. I thought he was my best bet of the week at Galway. The soft ground probably didn't suit him there either. He has a lot of speed and jumps well. I think he is a bit above average and he'll go for a novice hurdle next.
Bibi gets off mark over hurdles
She deserved that on her Flat form - she was good on the Flat,. I train mainly point-to-pointers but have a few for the track and have had three winners this season. We'll keep her to mares races and looks for some black type along the way.
Sixpence lands odds
Duers proves tough customer
He's been unfortunate in a few races recently. He's honest and tough, over hurdles or fences,. He'll go for something much the same at Tramore or Killarney. He wants good ground. He'll go on soft but not winter ground.
Derby off to winning start over fences
We had him tuned up for the Galway Hurdle but he had been schooled over fences before that as our plan was to go straight over fences after Galway,. He was entitled to win that on his hurdle rating but won it well enough. Hopefully he'll pick up a novice chase or two.
Leegane strikes for O'Dwyer
He had a good shout. He ran in a winners race at Galway because I couldn't get him in anywhere else,. He won a point-to-point for me and hopefully will win another handicap chase. He jumps well and stays well. He'd like a bit better ground and will go wherever we get the ground for him.
