Ryan bags first Group 3 on Shale
McNamara uses familiar Style on well-backed Military
Approved another for in-form McGuinness
She's hard work and we put a visor on her today. I don't know what happened on her last run but she loves that quick ground and she loves Leopardstown. She's slipped down a few pounds and was not winning out of turn. She's hard to tack up and is not easy before racing. She's a typical mare and just gets a bit uptight in the ring. Wayne said they went a good even gallop and he was able to dictate a bit and kick off the bend. She stuck at it well. We'll find something similar for her in a couple of weeks' time.
Nights justifies favouritism under Crosse
She had a good run the last day. She's straight forward and quickened up well. She seemed to be in control most of the way and is progressive. We'll try to get some black type with her and she will stay further. She won with an ease in Galway so she is versatile in terms of ground.
Nickajack continues on upward curve
He's improving all the time. He's in the Irish St Leger and that will be his ultimate goal. We were a little bit worried about the ground beforehand and Gary said he just doesn't want extremes. He would appreciate a bit more juice but got away with that no problem.
Company keeps his connections Happy
Sweet double for red-hot Ryan
She deserved that as she just got beaten here the last day. She's a very genuine filly and I'm delighted for her owner/breeder Joe Higgins who always breeds a good horse. Despite the fact that she's by Exceed And Excel, she gets every yard of the mile and five and maybe another furlong may not be astray. Hopefully she can win another one of those.
