Toner D'Oudaires got a fright at the first hurdle at Thurles the last day but loves that ground. He has been well schooled since and may go for a Grade 3 hurdle at Fairyhouse in a few weeks time.
Macville books Cheltenham ticket
she is a super mare and it was worth the drive up from Limerick!. we weren't concerned about the trip[ and she goes on any ground. We will have to strongly consider going to Cheltenham in March with her now and while Leopardstown over Christmas is also an option, we may give her a break now.
Saville Row completes Harrington's double
we originally thought he would never come on but he started to improved a lot recently. I told Robbie to try to be in the first five today and it was great to win! Whatever happens over hurdles, he will make a lovely chaser next season.
Boston provides Harrington her hat-trick
he was entitled to do that on his form and he has improved so much since his last run at Punchestown. He'll run in the Drinmore Chase next.
Colgan at best on Symphony
Robbie gave the horse a great ride and I simply don't understand why he doesn't get more rides.
Dylan Ross wins bumper for Meade & Nina
Dylan Ross stays well and has plenty of speed. He is well schooled and should run over hurdles before Christmas.
