Back To Base impresses on debut
She's a nice filly and did it well. She's professional and straight-forward. She'll run in a stakes race next.
Case a comfortable winner for O'Callaghan
We have no plans for him, that's his maiden out of the way. We have always liked him and we knew he wanted seven furlongs on proper good ground. Faster again would even suit him and another furlong would be even better. He could be anything. He is so laid back and he doesn't do a whole lot at home. He (Fergal Lynch) didn't touch him, he just went through the motions and he is fresh coming back in there. He is by a great sire in Showcasing and he is on fire at the moment.
Whelan rides out claim on Earth Drummer
That's Ronan's claim got now. He has always shown a nice bit at home. He has been working well. He ran into a smart sort of horse first time at Cork and the last day at Navan the ground was probably on the soft side for him. Ronan said the seven furlongs was fine for him and the ground was fine. Everything was 100% and he had plenty of horse when he asked him to go.
Ana shines on Pixie Spirit
It's great. We fancied him in Navan but he got no run and he just got beaten in Fairyhouse - simple as that. I'm delighted for the owners as he's home-bred and they've been looking at him since he was born. He has a fair pedigree and the mare was a fair mare. Ana gave him a fabulous ride. Hopefully he can pick up another one.
Ryan, Bolger and Whelan in double form
Deserved win for Danequest under Roche
He done it handy and we will see what the handicapper does now. He could go back over hurdles soon, maybe next Friday at Clonmel.
Levins in the Money again with Spider
That was brilliant. She did it very well and she battled very well. I have the Apprentice Derby in mind for her in three weeks time. My apprentice should have his licence by that time. Hopefully she can give him a nice spin, I think she could be tailor made for it and she is improving away.
