Jungle Junction off the mark over fences
He’s going to be a nice horse when the spring ground comes and we’ll step him up to two and a half miles.
All so easy for Conflated in Naas Directors Plate
It was the perfect race for him and on ratings he was entitled to win. He’ll probably head to Fairyhouse and Punchestown. He did it well and was happy bowling along in front. He jumped great and stayed on well. It looks like he’s better going that direction.
Scoir Mear leads home 1-2-3 for McManus
He’s been consistent all year. He’s a horse that needs a bit of light and I said to Simon to go wide and keep him happy. He said he loved it and jumped from fence to fence.
Swan shines On Eagles Wings in Grade 3 novice
Tim junior persuaded me to run him in this as I was going to run him in a handicap. He’s an honest horse. They went very fast and Harry was cool on him. I’m not sure where he will go next. He’s well schooled over fences and I’m looking forward to him going chasing.
Jacksons storms home to claim Gold
He’s tough and stuck at it well. I’d say the last day in Thurles we didn’t really have him fit enough and the ground was just too heavy for him.
Ballywilliam Boy wins at 33/1 for Hourigan
I think he just might make into a nice horse. Jim Devine lost (five-time winner) Drumacoo here four weeks ago and he bought this horse since.
Junior Rattler another for in-form McKiernan
He didn’t run well the last day (beat only one home at Punchestown) and I put it down to the ground but he did get lit up at the start. There was a false start the last day and it threw him altogether.
Effortless debut win for Kiely's Shuil Valentine
She’s a very nice mare. We were thinking of going to Leopardstown with her but she’s light and unfurnished.
