Easy for Jack in opener
Originally I was going to run him over three miles but he had to go for a novice hurdle somewhere so I decided to come for this. He's doing things right, . I was half worried at the top of the hill but I knew Paul knew what he was doing. I think he'll be better on a better track. He handles testing ground and he's getting stronger all the time. I think it was a fair horse of Charlie Swan's that he beat there.
Dul lights up under Dalton
He's a great old horse. Early in his career he used to get wound up and while he has calmed down now you wouldn't think he was ten,. He wants this ground. He won't race too much but we might go for a big pot with him. He would get in at the bottom of a race like the MCR Hurdle. If we had 30 of these we would be flying.
Soul completes hat-trick
Tranquil doubles up in Clonmel Oil
I had it in my mind that if he won here today that he would go back for the John Durkan and he'll probably go there now,. If he had been beaten I was thinking of the Grand Sefton at Aintree. Barry said he took a blow across the top and missed one but he got his lungs filled coming down the hill. I was very disappointed when he schooled at Punchestown recently but he did two very nice pieces of work since. If I hadn't seen him at Punchestown I would have fancied him a lot today. Long-term he will stay going. I was a bit blase with him last year. I put him away but didn't get rewarded. He is nine rising ten.
Tempo takes honours after drama
I thought coming down the hill that the last race had taken it out of her,. But she got back into contention and obviously everyone saw what happened after. There isn't a lot of races to run her in at the moment and that's why she ran again so quickly. Last Saturday was the plan but she got compensation today.
Walsh and O'Grady double up with Out Now
I think that's the first double they have had and Tranquil Sea could run in Nelius' colours next time,. This horse had been disappointing but he seemed to get it right there. Hopefully he can build on that. Things just worked out in the end.
Mangan cool as Ice in bumper
It took a while to get him right but we thought he should be thereabouts,. He showed an extra gear today. If he doesn't go for a winners bumper he'll go back hurdling.
