Mizzava outpoints Causeway half-sister
On her first run at Dundalk she needed it and she was a bit lost around there. Niall (McCullagh) said wherever she'd run next she'd run well. I was a bit worried she might be caught out by lack of fitness as she's a bit lazy at home. She's smart enough and holds an entry in the 1,000 Guineas. There will be worse than her in it!
Doyle's prayers for rain are answered
I gambled yesterday morning when declaring her as she needed rain to fall! She loves a cut and is consistent and improving.
Smullen shows strength for inform Weld
He was tough and enjoyed the soft ground. He battled well and Pat gave him a good ride as he looked beaten. He'll go for a handicap next.
Links shows that Star quality
Gerry Dolan owner of the Westminster Arms in London city centre owns him and I told him he'd a good chance today. He has been a grand servant, and has won eight races now. Ronan was excellent on him, and he does exactly what you say to him.
Elms repeats the dose for Walsh & Hayes
He won this race last year and we put a tongue strap on him today which obviously helped him. Chris took him out onto the better ground, and he said he travelled well. We'll look for something similar and he might go over hurdles again. We have options.
Salvador continues on an upward curve
That isn't his ground and he wants it better. There is a big engine in there and I'd say he is a fair horse. He kept picking up and picking up and he'll come back here for the Martin Molony Stakes (on June 21).
