Milsean justifies odds-on favoruitism
he's a big baby and it wasnt ideal making the running but I kept it simple. The ground is soft, he's a big heavy horse and handles heavy ground. I'd say the more they race on it today the more it will open up.
Expression maintains unbeaten record
he was very green and is still a big baby; he ran all over the place but he's one for the future.
Ferry cancellation works to Quest's advantage
he was to go to Haydock yesterday but was unable to travel due to the weather! . He ran well on his first run for us at Down Royal and was dropping back to two miles but the conditions were more testing and so is this track. He has an entry in the Welsh National but may not have a high enough rating to get into that.
Vautour is Supreme on chase debut
Willie Mullins .he jumped well and it's nice to see him pass his first test. I don't think he could have jumped any better. The fourth last was the only fence he got a bit close to and I'd give him the benefit of the doubt because of the sun; for a novice he handled it well. Ruby asked him after the second last and I was delighted the way he jumped the last after changing gear. I've no plans yet for his next run.
Monster gamble landed in Troytown
he's owned by two soccer agents (Lee Power and Willie McKay) and we gave a good few quid for him but he's paid his way now. He ran at Sedgefield (previously) because the lads were going to be there and we'd a great day out!
Relation of G'Cup hero wins for 1 horse yard
he was 18lb better off, including the claim, with the second horse (Gallant Oscar) compared to a run earlier this year and I was confident of beating him. I was going to go chasing after his last run in Limerick, and he'll probably go chasing over Christmas but first there's also a valuable handicap hurdle back here next month.
Mullins string in perfect harmony at Navan
she is the real deal and is improving all the time. She has never showed anything like that at home but her pedigree is coming out in her and she looks very smart. I thought she'd win a summer bumper but not go on to do a lot more than that. We'll have to decide if we go jumping or wait until next season but we may think about the Cheltenham bumper.
