Kingston Girl wins Fairyhouse opener for Comer

she ran very well in a maiden at Navan, which was a good maiden and the winner came out and won in Limerick afterwards. I don't know whether she was 100 percent on the day at Christmas. She was a little bit disappointing but that was a grade 3, we were back to maiden company here and she did it well. She jumped much better today than she did in Leopardstown. The runner-up has really really good form but she's tough and once she gets into a battle she loves it. It played into our hands really. The mares' graded race here in a couple of weeks is a possibility. We'll have to see what the bigger lads bring out!

I think she's a nice mare, she's still very green. Jack said he was probably in front plenty soon enough but he had to because we know she stays. When she was there she didn't know what to do and she ran around the place, she ran down the second last. I think there is still more improvement in her and there is probably only one place we can go now and that's go to Leopardstown for the Grade 1, all being well, and see what happens.

Brosna George provides Moore with appropriate win as late father remembered

he's going the right way and we thought he was in great form but didn't expect him to improve that much. The bigger track and the bigger hurdles suited him very well, I think, and the strong pace. It's extraordinary because on his pedigree he's an out-and-out stayer but he has a touch of class. We'll have to think of the Pertemps now at Punchestown next month. It suits him very well to have the three or four weeks between his races so that would be ideal for him. It's great for Gerry (Cullen, owner); he's a 90-year-old man and he's a great enthusiast. That's better than any pills!

R'evelyn Pleasure benefits from final fence drama

I fancied him going to Limerick but he jumped terrible down there. He missed the start and was never happy. I was very happy coming here today for the nice ground. The ground was gorgeous out there. Donagh gets a great tune out of him. He keeps things so simple on him and he jumps great for him. We were in the right place at the right time. We had a bit of luck at the last but it was wonderful. He deserved it as he's a good little horse. He may head to Leopardstown, depending on what mark he gets, on the Saturday for the 0-150 two-mile-one handicap chase. Otherwise we'll keep to these novice conditions races if we can.

Elliott & Gigginstown complete Fairyhouse treble

he's a grand big galloping horse — he's a horse for next year. Lisa said they went a nice gallop early but pulled up halfway through and then quickened. She said it took him the length of the straight to get going. He could be a horse that we'd run in a good hurdle race and then put him away for the year. He's not really a bumper horse, he's a nice horse.
