Dundalk Wed, 4th Dec, 2024  Donna Nook Delighted, did it lovely. James was very good on her, just floated through them. She pricked her ears when she got to the front. We started her in mid-summer and then she went through a growing spurt. We took our time with her, and she is after repaying us back in spades, so we are very happy with that. She'll go out with a smile on her face, and we will speak to the connections and see what we will do for the spring. As James says, she will want a mile next year. We will take that step next year.

Roscommon Mon, 2nd Sep, 2024  Loch Tay I'm delighted with him. We gave him plenty of time after Gowran as he just kept growing on us, I think he's grown about two inches. He was only just ready to start back today and he did it nicely. I was very concerned about the ground and Shane said he absolutely hated it, but his class got him through. He's a big, strong horse and he's got some nice entries for (Irish) Champions Weekend. We'll just see how he comes out of this and see whether we take them up or not. He's very nice.
