Bock battles well in opener

Ruby said he wants better ground but fitness got him through,. He jumped better today. He jumped brutal in Naas when we fancied him. He has done plenty of schooling since. Ruby was his brilliant self.

Bill makes it seven in a row

The last day she ran she had just gone too light,. We gave her a pop over hurdles at Dromahane recently and she was outstanding. Before she was jumping them but measuring them. She'll go for a novice hurdle at Limerick or Fairyhouse if she's right. The break she got was the key to her.

Roque looks bright prospect

I'll try and find something similar. I would say you won't get ground soft enough or a race long enough for him,. He's a big baby and showed it today. If he improves as much as I think he can he could be a real nice horse. I'm delighted with him. He's a big raw baby and chasing is his game. He's a half-brother to Kazal and the further he got the better.

Crack gets up late

National the target for Whinstone

Shamrock too strong in hunters

He's a ten-year-old and has had a lot of problems all his life. We'll keep him to hunter chases. Andrew is my nephew. He rode a winner in Spain last year as part of the Fegentri series but this is his first winner on the track in Ireland. He has also rode 13 point-to-point winners.

Sunshine streaks home in the rain

It's great to win. I was surprised with the ease she won,. I'm sure we'll try a winners bumper on better ground in about six weeks time.
