Mullins & Walsh double-up with Mister Blue Sky

Discordantly opens his account in tight finish

That’s great to get his head in front, and it was a competitive maiden hurdle. He’ll have just one more run in Punchestown, and will come back chasing next year. He has that one run and he idled a bit in front.

Dommage Pour Toi springs 33/1 surprise

Iknowwhereiamnow records 25/1 shock for Dempseys

She has a bit of an attitude and hung across a bit but battled on well. I’m delighted for the owners (Beattie family) who bred her themselves as they recently lost Dinnie’s Vinnie who was a great servant. We’ll see what’s coming up and find something for her.

Dramatic conclusion as Scotch completes hat-trick

When a bit of luck comes your way you won't turn it down! Once he landed (after the last) he was flying but what would have happened you don't know. He deserves a little break now as he's had a hard two weeks. It's amazing what a win and a bit of confidence can do. He's taking the races well but we're doing nothing different with him at home. He's turned a corner and we're delighted as he's a real favourite at home. There is a two and a half mile novice handicap here at Easter that we might have a look at. Hopefully he can pick up another one.
