Chebona Bula takes opener

He did it well, he probably wants better ground even though he got through it well enough today. He stays and jumps very well and we might give him a little break now and freshen him up for Leopardstown at Christmas, I think he's entitled to take his chance there. He's improving all of time and our long-term plan, everything going well, would be the Fred Winter.

A Premier Victory for Hogan

It's a lovely race to win especially during the recession and I own a third of her myself. She had a little allergy the last day she ran, so we were hoping for the best today and that she'd improve. Ger Gavin who also owns a share in her has had a winner with every horse he's had in training with me. I offered him a lift today as I was driving the jeep and box up but he declined the offer. We will probably keep her going now, she'd probably prefer a longer trip. There's a three mile race coming up in Cork that might suit her so we'll see, there's plenty of races coming up.

Voler La Vedette impressive at Down Royal

That was a good performance and she seems to be improving all of the time and it was a big ask today. We've no immediate plans for her, she'll probably run at Leopardstown over Christmas. I don't know if she'll have run before then, she won't if the ground remains the same.

Darcy wins aboard Danderry

Mighthy winner for McBratney

That was a nice race he won. He had a pop around at Naas last week but Paddy said the ground was a bit dead for him and he'd appreciate a bit of better ground and a bit further. His jumping is fantastic and he's improving all of the time. We will probably go down the Novice chasing route now. Long term plan would be to go for the four miler at Cheltenham in March. He's very strong and that was a competitive enough race he won today.

McNamara/O'Grady strike at Down Royal

Drumbaloo wins last for Lambe

When Tony McCoy rode him, he told me to bring him back to Ireland he's good enough to win over there. He's got a bright future.
