Bagenal battles to claim opener
Suave swoops to give Murtagh another winner
We thought he was going well with the other horses in the spring. I felt the handicapper was hard on him but he got it spot on there and I suppose Danny’s 5lb helped him. It was a good ride. Danny has been with us for the past couple of months. He’s after fitting in well with the rest of the team and I’m delighted that he’s after riding two nice winners for us over the last couple of days. There might be a three-year-old handicap for him at the Curragh on Derby weekend. I think a mile is a good trip for him, maybe seven at the Curragh. He’s an improving horse and might make up into a black type horse one day.

Without the good riders you don’t have good horses and Ben, Danny (Sheehy), Shane (Foley), Nikita (Kane) have all put in a lot of work and Gary Halpin has been in with me as well. . The horses are in great form at the moment and hopefully it can continue.
Pal puts his head in front to edge thriller
I was expecting a good run but I thought the ground might be a bit on the lively side. I was expecting more rain here but he’s a good, honest, tough horse.
