Killarney scores on debut at Cork

I'm delighted with that and he jumped really well. It's not the cleverest thing winning a maiden hurdle at this time of year but I think he'll be jumping a fence straight away next winter and he looks a real three miler. He is slow at home but is a real stayer in time and is exciting. All the time he gets will stand to him and I'll speak to Alan and Ann about where we go next but the winners' of one at Punchestown, if it turns up soft, is a possibility.

Dempsey strikes again on Thunder

Things didn't work out for him at Cheltenham and he went so wide, he may as well have stayed at home in his stable. The soft ground suited today and Luke used his head and used his initiative on him. He'll be entered up until the ground dries up and won't want it too quick.

Princess is the punters' darling

She won her point to point in Horse And Jockey and won her bumper here last year and will go chasing next year as she had the pedigree to be a chaser. We'll see where she'll go next but she could have one more run - we'll hope to get another soft race!

Impressive King gives rivals the Blues

He did today what I thought he'd do at Thurles in a Ladies Race the last day. He had worked unbelievably well at Punchestown a few days before that run but was then beaten after a furlong when he did run at Thurles. The piece of work must have left him flat as a pancake and took the edge off him. I left him freshen up coming here and he did what was expected at Thurles! He might go to Fairyhouse next. He is owned by Tommy Ward, a metal merchant from Mountmellick, who also owns Cliff House with John Joe Walsh.

Family O'Connell collect again with Captain

He loves the heavy ground and isn't as slow as people think. We love to see it raining when he runs but is a horse you can't run too often as he suffers with a bad back. He could end up in Punchestown or in Clonmel (for the Clonmel Cup) but it'll all depend on the ground.

Mullins magic as Roumanian lands gamble

He was recommended to me by Paul Byrne, who also recommended Rockyaboya to me, so he deserves plenty of credit. I told Danny to be in the first half today but he completely ignored my instructions and gave the horse a fantastic ride! He felt there was too much pace early on and held him back as he can also be quite keen. Our reasoning for buying him was he had finished second in his point-to-point and is a half brother to a French Grade 1 winner called Grivette. Grivette beat Hurricane Fly (second) and Quevega (third) to win at Autueil in June 2008.
