Dundrum Too Good for Johnny
He'd be better going left-handed and we'll find a novice for him now. He could go back on the flat too where he has a low rating. His owner, John Hennessy also has a half-share in The Bull Hayes with me.
We took a bit of a chance coming here. He is not a bad horse and I think he is improving. Punchestown would be on our minds for him now and I wouldn't like to ever run him back again as quick as that.
Three Up for Harrington
He quickens up well so I was never worried about where he was during the race. He is from that old Credit Card family so he is bred to get a lot further than the two miles here. He doesn't really like the heavy ground so we'll keep going with him now. (EM)
One Good Cookie
He is a 149-rated horse and it is grand to have won two races with him this year. He has that Grade 1 penalty that doesn't make life easy for him. He'll go now for the Irish Grand National. He is a grand horse and I wouldn't mind having a few more like him. (EM)

Four from Four for Harrington
Bostons Angel didn't do much in front but he is still a bit green. He'll go for a winners bumper for the experience. It is great to have four winners, I've had three in a day before, spread between two meetings. (EM)
