Mile claims Clonmel opener

Smullen doubles up on Best

That's lovely. The horses are all running well and he's entitled to that,. He's rated 105 over hurdles and has won over a mile at Ayr before. He's a bit lazy and is always keeping a bit to himself, which is always good. We'll find something at Galway for him and he could run there twice as there is a handicap hurdle for him and a beginners chase. He's a super jumper. He won't run much in between. He's a horse that doesn't take much galloping and he's easy to train.

Flynn hits 600 at Clonmel

That's fantastic. We'll look at the amateur handicap at Galway for her and she's also a seriously good hurdles prospect,. She's had two runs over hurdles and was running a big race on her second start only to fall. But I'm happy that she's still a novice. She's a well-bred mare, by Galileo, and is owned by Thomas Cahill, who has been a big supporter of mine for 27 years.

Bob lunges late to take beginners

That's wonderful. He loves good ground and has improved a little bit for his break,. Paul was brilliant on him. It looks like they went a bit too quick and they stopped in front and he stayed on. It's great as he's only a small horse and we'll see what the handicapper does with him now.

Lad survives blunder to score

He gets a medal for perseverance anyway as that's the first chase he's won,.

O'Grady notches brace with Guzzle

She's a sister to Whinstone Boy so will make a valuable broodmare in time. Hopefully she'll jump a fence one day,. I thought both my jockeys were good tonight. Oola Lad is not an easy ride (Patrick Mangan) and Andrew gave her a good confident ride.
