Henry has all the options now

Dotty matches her Mum

54321 for Chief

He got his day. The form of a few of his races has worked out well. I was a little bit concerned with the rain as he likes top of the ground. Jonathan gave him a lovely ride and he did exactly what I told him to do and it worked out well. I dropped him back to two miles with the forecast. I had him in the two and half miler later on today and I thought if the rain comes the ground could be gone by that time. I just thought the two miles with the rain softened ground would make it a test and I'd say that suited him. I was trying to get lads to ride him twice, Jonathan knew him from Killarney and he is lazy type of horse. I think the hood definitely helped today. I left it off the last day as he ran lazy in Killarney and the last day he just got a bit uptight without it.

Robin delivers Gowran double for Walsh

She will go to Punchestown now for the Grabel. We had her off but we brought her back because the ground was so good.

Ambassador making up for lost time

Barry rode him in the past and we were both very worried that the ground might be too soft for him,. We might put him away now and come back for a handicap hurdle in the spring.

Burning puts James back among the winners

He had a very good run the last day behind Brand Ambassador (the previous winner on this card) and he has done nothing wrong since,. He is improving all the time. We were afraid of the rain but it has made the ground loose and he handles that, he wouldn't get away with anything worse than that.

A promising beginning from Black Zambezi

He always showed us plenty at home. I was a little bit afraid being his debut and it would have been greenness that would have beat him. I'm glad the rain came as I didn't want to run him on ground that was too fast. Hopefully he should improve plenty from it.
