Dotada destroys rivals in opener

She wants good ground and that's perfect for her. She's in again at the Curragh next Monday,.

Xenia strikes for Brabazon

She's a small filly but as game as hell and she has always shown speed,. She'll be a right all-weather filly. She likes nice ground and we were lucky the rain didn't really get into the ground here. She was meant to run at Dundalk last Friday but got a tiny allergy at declaration time. She could run on the all-weather now but definately won't run on soft ground.

Carroll gets off the mark

He rides well and is a genuinely good kid,. He is very good over jumps and has done a lot of schooling over fences and hurdles. He's a kid with a future. We were pretty confident as he had been working well with the horse that won on Sunday (Go Native). I don't know what happened him towards the end of last season - maybe he's better fresh. He started off well but had a couple of hard races and just felt the effect. It's quite possible he could go to Punchestown for a race for last season's novices.

Purpose grinds out victory

She did it nicely enough in the end and I thought she was always going to get there,. We'll see how she comes out of this but we could consider the Eyrefield Stakes (Leopardstown November 1st) for her. She's Listed place and we'll try and go one better.

Bogie causes upset

We think a bit of him. The first day at Leopardstown he went mad at the start and got a fright,. It's totally out of character for him - he's never done anything like it before or since. I sent Andrew Duff down to the start with him today. He's a nice horse with a good pedigree and will make a cracking three-year-old.

Bride brings up double for Smullen and Weld

She's a big honest filly and stays going,. She'll go for something similar and could go back to Dundalk where she won her maiden.

Treble for Smullen and Weld

He's an improving horse and we might try and get a bit of black-type with him. He'll make a nice four-year-old,.
