Dancing Jeremy puts his best foot forward in Thurles

He is qualified for the Full Circle Series Qualifier at the Punchestown festival and I don't really want to go back over hurdles before then. We were taking a chance running him over two miles, but there was plenty pace in the race, he jumped well and saw it out. We'll pick another race for him and his main aim is the race at Punchestown.

Edmunds and Gethings break new ground in Ireland with Marsh Wren

Burke-Ott off the mark on Pana To Milan

This mare has been fancied all her life, so we were sick of following her. We jumped her over fences two days ago when the young fella (Burke-Ott) rode her and this was his first ride over fences on the track. . Luke has a future if he can get out there and be riding plenty of work - he schooled the other day with Mikey O'Connor, Chris O'Donovan and other experienced lads.

Largy Hill takes Grade 3 step up in class in his stride

Largy Hill did everything right and that was a good effort. You could see his jumping was that of an ex-point-to-pointer, compared to Stoke The Fire (stablemate, finished third) who was novicey and What Path (fourth) jumped a bit left. I was very happy with Stoke The Fire and that will bring him on hugely. . The winner is a big chasing type and it is nice to win a prize like this. I doubt he'll go to Cheltenham and will wait until Fairyhouse instead.

Rushmount delights Sweeney in Thurles

I'm delighted with him and delighted for his owners, the Moakleys, who, when I was 16, I did four or five seasons with Paddy (Moakley). He's a home-bred and hopefully now will build on that. The plan had been to go to Leopardstown over Christmas, but then he had a setback coming up to it. In fairness to the owners they have been patient with him and he is a nice horse. . He jumps really well and could do a lot over hurdles before he eventually going chasing. I thought he might be better on better ground, but it looks like he isn't ground dependant.

Smallcraftwarning pops up at 40/1

His form went downhill last year, but won a schooling race so I said I'd leave him off and bring him back. His first run back last year was his best run, so I was happy that he would run well fresh today. . He was in a field at Christmas, but is easy to get fit. I said to Toni going out 'what will be will be' and she gave him a brilliant ride. We're in this grade, but is a fun horse for Nick (O'Neill), my father-in-law to be. Pre-training and breaking horses is my gig and have one point-to-pointer and himself, but have a few two-year-olds to run as well.

Madge A Chroi shows improvement to score on her second start

She is a granddaughter of Cailin Alainn (eight-time winner) who we had great days with and her same owner John O'Mahony has been with me a long time. We were happy with her run the first day, but the race has been working out unbelievably bad. There was a lot of talk for a couple of fancied runners in today's race, but the owners still had a few quid each-way on so it was grand. She was eligible for the EBF 5,000 bonus today and we'll now have to consider going for another bumper and wait to go hurdling next season.
