Circe's delivers as Cloudy disappoints
She has been in great form the past three weeks but I wasn't sure how long it would last. I messed up at Killarney when she had to be taken out due to a passport irregularity, but its great that she has won today. I was afraid of the favourite as there seemed to be a lot of confidence behind her.
Carberry steals the show on Hareth
I had the best jockey. He was unreal. They must have went a million miles an hour, and a lot of people would have panicked. He is not a great or a natural jumper and he has to fine his feet, and I have to thank the jockey for that one.
Draycott Place scores for Ryan and Lynch
he's a proper horse and the only three times he had a clear run and was right, he won. Andrew (Lynch) said he hated the ground and he'd love good ground. He's a smashing horse and I might let him off now although there are a few races for him at Tipperary during the summer too. He's a novice for all next season and it was a fair performance beating a hardened Flat performer today.
Double for Heskin as Ben delivers
He is very solid without being exciting. We bought last January or February after winning a six-year-old and up maiden (point-to-point). We bought him because he his brother Corrigs (runs tomorrow at Roscommon) was flying at home. He got into traffic problems over three miles the last day, and I was glad to see the rain today. I'll have to make a decision now whether to keep him going. Looking long-term hopefully he'll be a nice three mile plus horse on nice ground in a big handicap. He is rated 119 over hurdles, but I think he will be hugely better over fences.
Cailin Annamh gains maiden chase win
she is some gutsy mare to come back so well after what was a terrible fall and jumped for fun today. Today's ground was as slow as she'd want it but I'm thrilled with her. She'll get seven pounds from the geldings in novice chases now and she will stay 2m4f to 2m6f but just isn't a soft ground mare.

3 for O'Brien as MacBride wins the bumper
He gave me a great ride and he finished really well.
