Birthday Success for Brindley
Brave Lucky Gains his Fifth Win
He is a very tough and consistent horse. He'll go to Bellewstown next for a three mile handicap hurdle - he is unbeaten there and hopefully it'll stay that way.
Bleue Another for Morgan up North
I'll run her again as fast as possible provided she can get in somewhere. She likes the fast ground. She got 10Ib for winning in Fairyhouse and I would have run her under a mandatory penalty but the balloting system put paid to that.

Dream a Nice Winner for Rogers
I expected her to run well. It was her first run for me and it's always nice to have a winner.
Local Joy as Ballyholland Lands Plate Trial
He didn't get home at Perth the last day (3 miles). The Galway Plate has always been on the agenda and that's his target.
98/1 Double for Colin McBratney
Paul Nicholls won a bumper with a relation (Penyfan Dawn). He is a nice horse and he'll probably go for a winners bumper next before novice hurdling.
