Jasko Des Dames off the mark over fences

His schooling at home had been very good and Darragh was happy to pop away in front if there was no pace, so we left it up to him. He jumped super and while he got in under the third-last, it was his first run over fences. I'm delighted for Basil, he got pipped at the post at Galway yesterday with Downmexicoway, so it's great to get a bit of compensation.

Watch The Weather strikes at Wexford

The plan was to run him yesterday at Galway. He was declared on good ground and obviously it went yielding to soft, so it would have been a waste of time. We ran him on heavy in Listowel the last day and Conor Stone-Walsh said he hated it all the way and never went. Even today I was a little bit worried would the yielding ground be quick enough for him. He has a little bit of a wind problem and needs everything to go right, but he got a very, very good ride today. I told Danny to just drop him out and fill him with confidence and leave him on the bridle as long as he could.  . He is a good horse when things go right for him, but he can be very in and out a bit. He struggles to win but I'm delighted for his owner. He obviously likes it here, he won here before and was third twice in two beginners'.  . As soon as the ground turns soft or heavy he will be left off, but we might get a bit of nicer ground at some of the better tracks. We will probably keep him on the go for a little bit longer anyway and he'll go on his holidays then. I'd imagine we'll stick to fences with him for the time being anyway, he jumps well, he is very good to jump, he knows what he is doing.

I thought she was a very good filly last year but she was a weak four-year-old. I was kicking myself at the end of the season as I overfaced her a little bit. I have no doubt that she will be a black-type filly over hurdles, she is beautifully bred and it's great for Fiona. . She'll go on over hurdles now and keep going all through the winter. She is no way ground dependent and fingers crossed that, if we get a clear run with her, she'll be a right good hurdler. . She ran two great races on her first two runs, then she was fourth at Navan and missed out on the black type. We threw her in at the deep end at Leopardstown and my horses probably weren't bombing it at the time. In fairness to Fiona she has stuck by me and we'll drive on now.  . They just carted a bit for the first furlong and she ended up in front. Finny gave her a great ride and she won with plenty in hand. We'll give her a few weeks now and then make a plan.
