Navan Sat, 22nd Mar, 2025  Burrows Drive We’re delighted, that was really good. He built on his run here and I suppose he was the form horse coming into it. We’ll see what the owner has to say, whether he goes again at Punchestown or if we put him away and go hurdling next season. Finny said he might like better ground, but I always thought he’d handle any ground. I’d say he’s a big horse that likes a cut. I’m delighted to have him.

Navan Sat, 22nd Mar, 2025  Autoportrait He had been running well, knocking on the door. He’ll make up into a nice staying chaser. It’s tougher than they think out there. He’ll probably have one more run this year - he’s still growing.

Navan Sat, 22nd Mar, 2025  Amanha Paddy said she travelled into the race well. I was a bit concerned when I got here about the ground but she’s after getting stronger and she finished out the race well. We maybe threw her in at the deep end the last day but that was a competitive race today and she finished out well. Onwards and upwards hopefully. She likes nicer ground so we’ll aim for something at Fairyhouse or Punchestown.

Naas Sun, 26th Jan, 2025  Anzadam That was a very good performance. Paul gave him a squeeze after the last and he quickened away nicely. There was no sign of him stopping. He has a good engine and is climbing up the tree nicely. He could be anything. He’s in the Champion Hurdle, but maybe we should wait for Aintree. That looks appealing and he’s still only five. The jump he put in at the third last I thought was extraordinary and showed me that we’ll have no trouble going novice chasing with him when we want. We’ll see how far we can go with hurdling and see what his owners would like to do.

Tramore Tue, 26th Nov, 2024  Sortudo Authorized is a brilliant sire and Jody did well to get him settled. I think there should be a lot of improvement in him. He’s an exciting horse going forward and will probably stay in bumpers this year.

Thurles Thu, 21st Nov, 2024  Jarrive De Mee He is a very nice horse, is by Authorized and out of a Great Pretender mare, he won a point-to-point and has now won a maiden hurdle easily. He is for sale to stay in the yard and will eventually jump a fence. Aubrey McMahon (agent) has had a lot of success and he pointed this horse out to me so deserved a lot of credit. He cost the price as a nice store horse so is the same as Full Confession (recent bumper winner) and they are nice types for nice kind of money. Meetingofthewaters (Paddy Power Chase winner) started off in my colours last year and I like this horse: I love those Authorized horses but they are hardy to get.
