Slevin steers another juvenile hurdle winner for O'Brien
Coen records biggest win over jumps
Her form this year was good and she ran a cracker at Galway but before that race, she ran off the bend at Sligo when I think she should have won and at Tramore the last day, I thought it was an easy target but she did the exact same thing. She is just a little clever but is grand going this direction and is a lovely filly. . To be honest I was 50-50 on whether to run or not, due to the rain, but I said to Aisling that we might as well chance it as her season could be over if we get much more rain after this. It worked out great and I'm delighted for Jake who is a good little rider. She'll be a grand filly over fences next year.

Meehall registers second Killarney success
He won this race two years ago and jumped superbly tonight. Killashee (a front-runner) took him off his feet here a month ago and he ran no race but things worked out well today and Daniel King gave him a super ride and is very capable. . He jumped from fence to fence, stays really well and will go to Listowel (September) and Galway (October) next. Conor (son) got a fall in Tramore, where he got a kick, so unfortunately was out since yesterday but is back on Saturday.
King Ferdinand raises the spirits at damp Killarney
He is an improving horse and it is a great syndicate, from my local pub the Gortroe Inn. They formed after a few of my horses won and Vinny Grimes and Tony O'Shea are the main men in it. There are 26 members and their families and this is unreal - they are having savage luck with him.
