A good night to Seeyouallincoppers

He wasn't over schooled. We schooled him back in March. It sounds a long time ago but we stopped with him for a while. When he went back to it he took to it even better. He's no world beater but he looks like he'll improve a lot, he's still weak. We'll look for another three-year-old hurdle for him and he might go back to the flat. Next year he'll go on soft ground. It wasn't the strongest race. It's great to see Mick back riding and hopefully he'll get some success. He had a few problems but he got them sorted out. He had to work to get back and he deserves this.

Thomond appreciates drop back

We thought stamina was his forte. We went to Wexford and made the running but he just faded,. Looking back on his run in the north over two miles it was a better run so we decided to come back here. He's had a bit of a problem with his palate and that's why we are running on fast ground. Davy said the ground was plenty quick enough for him.

Taken Twice and Splaine work well together

My father had a few runners in Cork yesterday. He was staying with a good friend Noel Glynn who had a winner so they were celebrating.

Mullins times it well on Benny

He has loads of ability and it was just getting everything right today . getting him jumping and the ground. Thank god it all worked out,. It was a great finish. He does have a turn of foot and a bit of class. I've nothing laid out for him and Barry and myself will have a chat. He needs that good to firm ground.

Cool Warrior shows his mettle

Queen Alphabet another for Fahey

She's a very good filly. Jane gave her a brilliant ride. She can be very keen and Mark (Fahey) did a very good job on her first time out to switch her off and he taught her a lot. She'll mix it between the flat and bumpers and wants a bit of nice ground.
