Klassical Dream very smooth on chasing debut
you could see Klassical Dream was probably a third or fourth-season novice the way he jumped because he was very efficient. I had been trying to go over fences with him for the past couple of years but he had little mishaps which would have meant he'd miss half the season. We bided our time and this year he has been 100% and let's hope he stays that way now. He is a Supreme Novice winner and we know he has plenty of stamina so you could go any trip with him. We'll look at Christmas for him as it is nice timing-wise.
Mcgrath From Clune a ready winner in Thurles
He jumps well and it was nice to get one with him. He'll win another little race somewhere and can mix between hurdles and fences.

Up in trip and a tongue-tie aids Mollys Glory
She had been a bit disappointing on the Flat and couldn't figure out why her runs were so bad as she had been working well at home. She does a lot of messing with her tongue, so we said we'd buy her a tongue-tie and it has obviously helped. . In fairness to Tom Dowling, who works for me, he suggested to step her right up in trip so I'll thank him. It looks as if she wants every bit of the distance. He (O'Sullivan) said he was in front too soon, but didn't expect her to pick up as she did. She wants decent ground - you'll always gets that here and we'll have a look for another race now. If she hadn't run well today, she was going to stud as she has black-type in bumpers.
Ragin Cajun first leg of notable double for Smith family
. He is quite a quirky horse and was off and on the bridle a bit but, I knew when I popped the question, there was plenty in the tank. He wasn't doing a whole pile in front, but landed running at the back of the last and hit the line well.
McGill times it well on Herculaneum
Mullins at double through Westport Cove
It was a very good performance, his jumping was very slick and he jumped like a handicapper. I think he was a lot more settled and is maturing. . We just have to go up in grade now - he is sharp enough for two miles but I have no problem going further either. We'll look for something around Christmas maybe.
