Cottrel makes all to please punters
We have no great plans and he'll go for a winners of one. He probably has to go left-handed as he's only one eye as a result of being kicked as a yearling. He's a brilliant horse to jump and gallop.
Salley looks a girl to follow
She must be so good as she had such a poor preparation for this race. We had about a foot and a half of snow in Wicklow and she just walked around in the snow for five days up to Christmas eve before we could do a little bit of work with her,.
Lieutenant upsets odds in novice
I didn't fancy him over this trip as he's a two and a half mile horse, and in fairness to Michael O'Leary it was his idea to come here. I wanted to go for a winners of one at Limerick but he said why not have a go and if you're not in you can't win,. I'll have to talk with my trainer (O'Leary) to see where we go next,. quipped Morris before adding, .If he goes to Cheltenham it would be for the two and a half mile race (Neptune Investment Novices Hurdle) but he's a horse for next year.
Zeb justifies favouritism in Dial-A-Bet
He'll go next for the Tied Cottage at Punchestown and then back to Cheltenham for the Champion Chase. Hopefully we can keep him ticking over between now and then,.
Hurricane is Festival flyer
I thought the run at Fairyhouse took a good bit out of him and was afraid that he was a little bit flat coming here today. But he had to take his chance, and once again he showed what a turn of foot he has.
Majestic success for Weld in Paddy Power
I think that's the first runner I've had in this race. The prize-money is great and he's a wonderful horse to train. He ran a great race in the Chester Cup and we learned a bit from the Galway Plate where we rode him around the inner and he got a bit squeezed up. Robbie gave him more room at his fences today,.
Shep rounds up Geraghty treble
I'd say he's improved a bit since his last run. He'll be a lovely horse when he jumps a fence, and Barry gave him a fine ride,.
Jim fixes it in bumper
.We'll either go next for a maiden hurdle or else a winners-of-two bumper at Naas in about six weeks time. He'll certainly be better on better ground, and he had to be tough as the ground is very demanding today,.
