Moville Lands Gamble in Style
The horse was bought in Newmarket at the horses in training sale (15,000 guineas). Hopefully he can improve from that and he may go for a winners race at Fairyhouse.
Brave Betsy does it for the Locals
I have about five for the track and a few point-to-pointers. That was my third runner and I got my licence at the end of October. This horse won two point-to-points and he was very impressive in his winners race at Dromahane. He is amazing really, I thought he'd need the run a lot more today. We'll keep him to hurdles for the moment as he has a bit of pace.
Halfback another for Meath
Bob Too Good for Navan Rivals
He is entered in a couple of races at Cheltenham but that is probably out now. He has plenty of options at home. Novices have a good record in the Irish National so we could look at that. There is also a good novice race at Punchestown. He seems to handle any ground, he certainly wouldn't mind good ground. (EM)
Benalma One for the Layers
He won three point-to-points but nothing went right for him over hurdles last year as my horses weren't right. He'll probably go now for a novice at Fairyhouse and he would like better ground.
It depends on what Barry wants to do but he is a super jumper of hurdles. Danny said to me the other day that he could even win on the flat, maybe in one of those mile and a half amateur maidens. (EM)
