Money talks for Bay Hill
First winner of season for Harty
It's nice to get off the mark for the season. It's been slow but we've had nothing to run because of the ground. He's always been a good jumper, he won a point-to-point, and he winged the last and went about his business. He battled well. Where we go now I don't know but it's nice to be here today. He's won his point-to-point so he'd have no problem going chasing whenever we decide to go that route.

No slip-ups from Benemeade this time
He was unlucky last time when he slipped up. Paul had slipped in the previous race on Blue Cannon and I said to him to let this lad drift off the bend. When he slipped up [at Navan last Saturday] I said to him what happened to the drifting and he said if he'd drifted any further he would have ended up in the hedge!. He jumps well. He looked around at the last and nearly threw it away. He's a nice horse but doesn't really like heavy ground.
Double for Walsh, treble for McManus
He kept sticking his head out. He had a good look at the last and had to battle back to the line,. With the small field it was a great opportunity to win a race with him. He's been running well but hasn't got his head in front. He ran a cracker in Punchestown and also ran well in Roscommon. He's honest and gives it a good go everytime. We'll see what there is about for him over three miles. He likes the trip.
