Mangan's team up with Quarryvale

She's a good long distance mare and with a bit of luck there's a big chase in her. I liked the way she finished at Gowran after she was passed. Heavy ground is the key to her and the shoes will be coming off when the ground gets fast. I had been hoping she would get into the Thyestes but it was lucky she didn't now.

Breeze shoots down rivals

Lalor returns with a winner

She hates that tacky ground but we were so frustrated that we had to run her. She will come back here in a few weeks time for a three miles mares novice.

Lamb proves tasty for punters

He's a lovely horse and the Land Rover Bumper was the aim last season when he was ridden by part-owner Paul McMahon. However a few things happened and it didn't go quite according to plan. He's turned inside out since he went hurdling, and he's a chaser in the making. We are not going to kill him over hurdles this season, and he'll come back in September for a beginners chase at Listowel.

Vic is a tough little mare

I'm delighted with her. We said coming here that if she finished third we'd be thrilled. But she's so tough and very brave. She's tiny but she was made to race, and we'll probably run her in a handicap off a light weight now.

Immediate relief for the Mullins yard

will go for another handicap., while the successful Kates Monkeys Syndicate are a group of student pals of the winning rider.

Another will face greater Challenges

I wasn't expecting that. He was very green all the way around, and the one thing he'll do is improve.
