McManus horse banned for 42 days

On The Fringe steps into the limelight

Punchestown 2012 was his last run. He fractured a bone in his hock last year. He's a bit brittle but is a good horse and his jumping has always been fantastic. We'll look at Leopardstown and Cheltenham for him. JT (McNamara) rode him [on his last appearance in May 2012 when winning the champion hunters chase at Punchestown by 12 lengths] and said we are going to go places with him. He finished fourth in the Foxhunters as a four-year-old but he'll be better for it now he's a man.

Crawford the Man With Van

He's a very nice horse. He's late maturing, he won his point-to-point very impressively in the spring and summered well. I thought he would win when he fell in Maralin. He got a nice run in Navan. I didn't know how well he would take to hurdles.
