Eglantine scores on Irish debut
She's jumped well, travelled well and done it well. The ground is beautiful.
Ciankyle prevails despite market drift
The last day here he lost it at the start. There was a false start and he didn't get up there in time. He likes to get out and dictate the pace himself. We'll keep him going in whatever handicaps we can get into while the ground is good. He won going away there.

Cappacon comes good under Browne for McKiernan
He's had all sorts of problems - leg trouble, back trouble and we could never really get him right. We gave him a heap of time and in the last month or so he seemed to be coming back to himself and he did a couple of bits of nice work last week and the week before. Hopefully the issues are behind him as he's not getting any younger. He was a good horse four years ago and was touched off in a couple of bumpers at Fairyhouse and Leopardstown . The better ground this evening helped him. He made a mistake three out and when Barry got after him he shot back up again. It's a good sign for a horse that hasn’t run in six months. He'll jump a fence if he stays sound and he might go for another hurdle race first.

Double Pleasure for Mullins & Walsh
Odds-on Poker denied by Curramore
He was very free in Galway but he settled very well today. Ray gave him a beautiful ride, and just had one go at him in the straight. Colm (Ryan, owner) used to work for me a good few years ago and his father Michael bred the horse.
