Flat Out all the way
Tullintain another for Tyner & Enright
He was a bit disappointing last time at Clonmel but he just wasn't right. He has had wind problems in the past but he seemed to enjoy himself today.
3rd time lucky for Tillahow
He was good today . he left that Limerick form (2nd to Mister Carter who was only 4th here) behind him. He jumped much better here, I have no time for those hurdles (Easyfix) that were in use in Limerick. I have no real plans for the horse now.
Luddsdenene takes his chance
He didn't make life easy for himself by hanging to the left. I told Declan to use his experience by going out in front. When we settled him in before he didn't hang so being in front probably caused that. I'm delighted to have a winner for fantastic owners in Brian Redmond and John Kinsella.
Joe Smooth for Davy
He wasn't mad about the ground and he got a little bit tired. He'll have a little break now and go for a winners of one in three to four weeks time. He had been very impressive at home but disappointed twice on the track. I'd say he wants better ground.
Turner makes the most of Barneys mistake
We were a bit worried about the ground. We thought it would be a bit tacky for him but he has a big heart. He may be aimed at the Martin Pipe conditional riders handicap hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival.
Rick mows down Mountain
That was a good performance as Paddy said he was hating the ground and didn't jump on it but he has a bit of class. It is hard to find races for him and another horse of mine Stonemaster is in the same boat as a second season hurdler.
1st treble for Gigginstown
He was very green in front which makes me believe he had plenty left in the locker. I'm not sure if he'll go for a winners bumper now or go jumping, I'll have to talk to the owner.
