Lodge takes dramatic opener
I don't know where to go next as the Grade 1 at Leopardstown may come too soon. He's a good honest, tough horse and stands about 16.3 tall.
Zaidpour takes tactical affair
The tactics and ride won it for him. Ruby gave him a very sharp ride. I don't know where he'll go at Cheltenham, the Champion or the World Hurdle. Today's race wasn't a trial for either race as they went no gallop but his connections would like to run at Cheltenham. That's his ground.
O'Brien on the mark over hurdles
He got lost a bit at Fairyhouse the last day but finished well. I don't know where he'll go next. But he's the oldest horse in the yard and is a real favourite.
Snow comes good in style
She's a very well bred mare. When we bought her we knew she had problems but not as many as she ended up having. We will take it one day at a time with her but she will jump a fence in time. She'll make a nice broodmare, and the ground was not really what we were looking for today.
Alice is far from Gentle on rivals
She might go back hurdling but to be honest I don't really know where she'll go next. She has some black type over fences.
Moscow may take Cheltenham option
He's a fair tool, and keeps improving all the time. We've schooled him over hurdles and were thinking of going hurdling. We might still consider the Cheltenham bumper. It's 50-50. He settled lovely today but Cheltenham might blow his head. We have the alternative of running him in a few good novice hurdles to give him some experience.
