Fire battles to success in opener

Velocity too sharp in Ballybin

She seems to be improving. She's a pleasure to train and loves what she does,. Everything went to plan. She got a nice possy and the ground was lovely for her. She jumped and got into a nice rhythm. Kieran said she was hard on the steel the whole way. She's in at the Curragh on Friday and does rather well when turning out again quickly. Although it's more difficult against older horses.

Holidays strikes for Lordan

She did it grand and we'll try and get a bit of stakes form into her now if we can,.

Title in control under Lee

Habit Forces way to front under Smullen

It was a positive ride from Pat and a battling performance. It was touch and go all the way in the last furlong and he put his head in front at the right time,. They didn't go a great gallop and he had a lovely position.

Linehan shows cool head on Boy

That's great for Eddie as that's his 10lb gone. It's only his second ride of the year and it will launch him for the season,.

Wachman doubles up with Unity

That was good. She deserved to win it,. A mile-and-a-half was always what she was crying out for. We'll look at some of the staying Group races for her. The likes of the Noblesse and Give Thanks in Cork and maybe the Lancashire Oaks.
