Navan Sun, 15th Dec, 2024  Individualiste He had to battle, I was definitely a little bit worried for a while. He got the jump at the last and he was gutsy enough. A Wave Of The Sea is a classy horse on his day. We'll see where we go from here. He travelled quite well there so we could potentially come back in trip a bit.

Navan Sun, 15th Dec, 2024  Midnight It Is Obviously he hadn't run for a long time but he runs well fresh. We've been waiting a long time for the ground for him. He's been ready for quite a while and we were anxious to get him out. He won well and we might have a look at the Dan Moore. Hopefully we're up to that grade.

Punchestown Tue, 10th Dec, 2024  Shantou Princess she won a point-to-point and the step up in trip was a big help to her. Keith was good and confident and forward on her. She was long at the last couple but got away with it: she's only a small thing and is brave. There is a 0-110 handicap at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day so we might look at something like that next.

Cork Sun, 8th Dec, 2024  Only By Night She was good in Tipperary and has built on that. I thought today was coming plenty soon but with a race like this, you have to go for it,. She is a very big mare, jumps very well and I’m looking forward to plenty more from her. The Grade Two mares’ novice chase at Thurles in January would look to be her next race.

Fairyhouse Sun, 1st Dec, 2024  La Malmason she was very good although we were clutching at straws with her but she had kissing spine surgery during the summer and it's obviously done the trick: she had been making a lot of mistakes last year so we got her checked out at the end of the season. I was a little bit concerned the ground wouldn't be slow enough as she'd appreciate softer going and will definitely get further. I'm delighted with the way she jumped today, Keith said when he jumped the first he knew she was a different mare so hopefully she can kick on from here. I haven't looked beyond today, this was the plan although I couldn't rule out the Thyestes or an Irish National. I'm delighted to get a winner at this meeting; we got one in Navan (Troytown weekend) and if you can have a winner at these big meetings it's great.

Punchestown Sun, 24th Nov, 2024  Stumptown He’s taken to it so well, he loves it. He’s careful enough over his fences in chases and you might think that he wouldn’t have the heart for it but he’s taken to it really well. There is a race at Cheltenham in December and he’ll probably go there. I don’t know too much about it but Keith says the course is very different to here. We’ll be happy to get him over there at the next meeting and get him around it. That was Vanillier's first time over them (cross-country obstacles) and you would be happy enough with him (finished a running-on sixth). It generally takes him a run.

Tipperary Fri, 22nd Nov, 2024  Only By Night She jumped brilliant and is very good to jump although I thought we were in bother going along the side but she found plenty for pressure. I'm delighted with her. We won't lose the run of ourselves but it was a good performance and she will go further too. There is a nice programme for mares here and she could also travel to the UK too so we'll see.
