Willie Mullins and Ruby Walsh put the early defeat of Tawaagg firmly behind them when Templers Hall followed up the earlier success of Palace Merano, in the Horse And Jockey Handicap Chase.

After race at Punchestown Fri, 23rd Apr, 2010 (1st)

I'm delighted. We came here more in hope than expectation with him,. Maybe it's the ground that's turned him inside out. I thought the two of them (Pomme Tiepy finished 4th) wanted soft ground but maybe they are fed up with it soft and appreciate a bit better ground at this stage of their careers. That saved the both of them from the sales and we'll continue to race both if we can find races long enough.

I'm delighted with that, he settled much better today than he has done, but he hated the ground - it is very tacky,.

I'll keep him for Punchestown. He'll run on the flat in the summer and Galway and Listowel could also be on his agenda. He'd win a mile and six maiden on the flat any day of the week and he'd appreciate better ground too. (EM)

After race at Thurles Thu, 12th Feb, 2009 (1st)

This horse had been crying out for a trip. He is all stamina and he'll be going over three miles before long. He could even go over fences by the end of the season and he is a half-brother to that good horse of Paul Nicholls' Napolitain. (EM)
