Fionnegas remains unbeaten
This looked a nice opportunity on paper. He is not back in that long and it is nice to see that he retains his ability from earlier this season. He is more at home at this longer trip - he is a staying novice really. The Barry & Sandra Kelly Memorial Novice Hurdle at Navan is an option for him - if I have him entered there.
Course-specialist Slieve wins at Clonmel
The trip at Punchestown the last day (two miles) was too short and he had a nice light-weight on his back for that ground. He'll stick to longer trips now.
Watson tops in Clonmel Oil
Moskova prevails under determined Ruby
Super Ruby! After the mistake I thought she'd find it very difficult because we were worried about her fitness (her first outing for 204 days). She battled well to the line though and she is very tough. She could go back over hurdles now but she owes nobody anything at this stage and it is great for her owner, Robert Hennelly. He is a Mayo man and he could have sent her off to the breeding sheds so this is just reward for putting her back in training.
Footy appreciates drop in grade
Pal completes Mullins treble
To win on this ground with this fellow is fantastic because he is a really going to be a good ground chaser. He'll go hurdling now and then he'll quickly be sent over fences. He is a future National horse. He could be a horse for the four miler at Cheltenham.
