Red Sabor ploughs through tough conditions
Churchill 'definitely a Guineas type'
I'm delighted with him. He's lovely and lazy and just quickens. Seamus was very happy with him. He's very lazy and doesn't do an awful lot in front. It was the same at Ascot and Leopardstown. He's a big sleepy fellow. He'll come back here for the National Stakes and there's no doubt he'll be better on better ground. Hopefully he'll get further than a mile but he's not slow this horse. I'd definitely say he's a Guineas type of horse. Maybe he will get a mile-and-a-half but he doesn't go like a mile-and-a-half horse in his work. He has plenty of boot and is a big powerful horse.
Landfall creates a good first impression
That's not unexpected. He sort of pulled himself together in the last three or four weeks. It's been very fast and we haven't been able to work him on the grass on the Curragh but in the last two or three weeks he's done two bits of work that showed us that he could be a very nice horse. I do like him. It was a bit of a surprise that he jumped out and made it but nothing was keen to go on. He's a big scopey horse and I think he has a very nice future. He'll probably have one more run. He's in the Beresford and well have a look at that. He's one to look forward to for next year. We'll maybe have to take a trip to France as he's qualified for the premiums. I'd say he'll be a middle distance horse next year. He has the blend of speed and stamina and like all the good ones can move up and down in trip.

O'Brien and Heffernan land Group 2 double
Aidan said that she was probably a little bit better so he was right. The second is a very good filly. It was a good race, we are lucky to have them. They're two very nice fillies and I'm delighted with them. Michael's filly (Brave Anna) got a little bit tired but she had a good break after Ascot. The second kept coming. She's a hardy filly. They will all hopefully come back here for the Moyglare and they'll get further.
Flying Fairies delights Murphy
I'm delighted with that. It might not have been the best of races but she did it well. She's a very genuine honest filly and I think she'll get better with age. She's paying her way and making a living like us all. She handles any ground as long as it is not extremes.
Big Ben brings up O'Brien/Heffernan treble
He's a tough hardy horse. He's still green and when he gave him a belt he hit the rail. Hopefully he'll keep progressing and I think he'll stay further so he'll probably step up in trip. Donnacha's horse (Tree Of Knowledge) came forward too and on his next run I'd say he'll be there.
Morga much too good for opposition
I had to fancy her as in Galway she gave 12lb to Heartbreak City [who won yesterday's Ebor] and was only beaten two lengths. She ran a great race in Galway as she was giving weight away to the first three. She loved that ground and got a lovely ride. She found plenty. She'll probably go back over hurdles but it's hard to find one for her. The way she ran there she could go two-and-a-half miles over hurdles. She could maybe go over a fence as well. Mark Walsh said she would love fences the way she jumps the easyfix hurdles.
