Barrier makes the breakthrough

Gaillimh opens hurdling account in thrilling finish

I love this place and it's great to have a winner here. She won on soft ground last year but she is by Presenting and you'd always imagine the nicer the ground, the better it would be for her. It was a slog in Clonmel the last day. We will put her foal at some stage and try to get some black-type at Killarney next month, that's the plan. I don't think two-and-a-half miles would be any problem for her either. She ran well at Aintree last year (when sixth in the Grade 2 bumper) after getting left a bit at the start. She wouldn't have beaten the winner but would have been a lot closer only for that. It's brilliant that she picked up another bonus today and believe it or not her dam Gaillimh A Chroi was the very first mare to win a bonus.

Roise another for champion elect Gilligan

Breeze bags another win for in-form Rothwell

He has been placed so many days and he deserved that. It's his second win and he has been pretty consistent, he is a great little horse. He was down the bottom of the handicap and we took seven off with Conor's claim. It's great for Conor, that's his third winner and he is improving away. He probably wants another year of experience under his belt to really get going. He is definitely on the up. That's 41 winners now and it's my best season to date. It was lovely to hit the 40 winners mark the other day. I've been fifth in the trainers table nearly all year and while behind me is something like 18, I'm still miles behind the first four. For a yard of 50 odd horses at the level we are at, it's magic. I've got massive support from owners and I have wonderful staff. Long may it last.

Rochestown set for holiday after second Tramore success

We were just a little bit worried about the ground as it is drying out. That'll be it for him now, he is after winning two and has been placed a few times. He has been consistent and Darragh gave him a great ride. He ran great (when second) over hurdles the last day at Mallow, he was just beaten by a better horse on the day. He has done enough for the season now and we'll let him out in the field. We just got away with the ground today, he'd prefer the softer ground.

Prince prevails to seal another double for Rothwell

De Bromhead grabs Tramore winner in finale

The better ground definitely helped him and Rachael was great on him. He was a bit unlucky in Fairyhouse but it's nice to get him back winning here. He jumped well today and I have no immediate plan for him. Hopefully he'll just keep progressing now.
