Insignia Of Rank gives Murphy a 33/1 boost
Eddie Lynam let us know the horse (Onlyhuman) wasn't running and we hadn't envisaged we'd run him but we took our chance and the three year old allowance meant a lot, along with the 7lbs claim. He is a nice horse going forward but we were disappointed with him a little early but my horses were sick so they're all coming back well. We'll go back to the drawing board now and he looked like he could stay 1m2f or 1m4f, and we might just throw an entry in the November Handicap, which Swamp Fox won last year. There's also the possibility he could go hurdling as well.
Weld continues good record in Concorde Stakes
This is the fifth time I've won this race in the last nine years. She loves that ground and is a very consistent filly. She won a big two year old race last year and won the Listed Corrib Stakes at Galway and has been multiple Group placed and she is exceptionally brave. That'll be it for her for the year and I'll speak with her owner and hopefully she'll stay in training next year. I was very pleased with Imaging and match-fitness told on heavy ground. Declan said on the very testing ground he tired a furlong and a half down. He'll go for the Knockaire Stakes at Leopardstown in two weeks time. I'm very pleased with him and he'll be back to be a very decent horse.

We were very disappointed in Galway when he just ran a bit keen and the atmosphere probably got to him a bit too. We put the hood on him and it has helped him to relax. Sometimes horses that work so well at home need their first run back but I think he is a horse with a high cruising speed and I hope to get a third bumper out of him. He could also go jumping so we'll have to sit down and argue that one!. Last season he had a setback when he had been doing good work but is back now and he has stood up to three runs. They have done a fantastic job with the ground here and deserve an awful lot of credit.
