Hellyhunter scores for Walsh/Fitzgerald

Hellyhunter is a good tough horse but we didn't make enough use of him the last day at Naas. Chasing is his game but he'll have one more run over hurdles, maybe in a valuable novice handicap hurdle here in April.

Walsh's Friend still unbeaten

he's a promising horse but I was 'shaky' about his jumping coming here. He schooled great at home but jumping well here, in this heavy ground, is different.

O'Connor the King at Fairyhouse

heavy ground is the key to him and, while we'll have to wait and see what the handicapper does with him, he probably isn't good enough to run in the better novice chases and may go handicapping now.

Ruby completes Fairyhouse double

Barney gets the Gold

Enright steers Molly's Boy to Fairyhouse win

I wasn't that sure about Molly's Boy on that ground but we'll keep him handicapping now . he is owned by the locally based Urban & Rural Boys Syndicate.

Bumper winner Bishopsfurze is Cheltenham bound

Bishopsfurze is a nicely bred horse who had been showing me plenty at home. He is plenty good enough, hated that ground and will now run in the Cheltenham Bumper.
