Strandhill claims Roscommon opener

She loves the soft ground, so we'll wait for the soft ground now. That's my sixth winner for the owner in two and a half years so I'm delighted. I think the visors might have just helped her, she was going on again when she got to the line.

Harrington's good run continues

It has been a nice couple of day, it'll keep us going. The fellow had a nice run at Fairyhouse, he can run a bit free and he hardly got around the first bend but I'm delighted with him. It's my first winner for the owner Mick Daly, he bred the horse too which is great. He's fair old machine and we'll look for a handicap next on a flat track somewhere like the Curragh with plenty of runners so he can get some cover.

Butler makes a welcome return

I suppose we'll have to think about Galway now after that performance. It was probably a moderate enough contest. I don't know whether to go back over hurdles or run him on the flat we will have to think about it and see. It's great for Shane [Butler], it's his first winner back since his injury he was out for eight or nine months.

Cothrom impresses at Roscommon

That was nice, he was good there. . We were giving out about his penalty the last day but he'll get into a better league now. He jumped beautifully, hopefully he'll go to Galway now. He might just creep into the Galway Hurdle. He might run in Gowran Park on Sunday depending on how he comes out of the race.
