Intricately too good for odds-on fav

She was working fairly well but I thought she'd be very green around here first time. She wasn't as green as I thought and Michael gave her a great ride. The race worked out well for her and she seemed okay on the ground. She'll probably step into a Listed or Group race — she'd be entitled to. Seven furlongs is probably her trip.

Oxx off the mark with Arch Sting

He did it well. He had good form and had a good run at Dundalk last year. He ran okay on his run back and with the favourite coming out he had a favourites chance. He won nicely. I was worried about the ground but he got through it well. We'll keep him to seven or a mile, he doesn't want to go any further. Obviously he's a bit more versatile ground-wise than I expected. He's rated 76 and I don't think he'll go up much for that. We'll look for a handicap or a rated race. I've had very few horses with a wining chance before today. I only have 12 or 14 three-year-olds so don't have the ammunition. Early in the year you need good horses to win in Ireland and i just didn't have them. The two-year-olds have started quite well and I think the second half of the year will be good. The horses are in good health there has been nothing wrong with them.

Best Not Argue in fine form at Gowran

She stayed on well. It suited her the way they went hard in front as she had something to run at,. She handled the ground better than I thought she would. She had form on yielding but it's quite heavy out there now.

Keane doubles up on course specialist

She likes it around here. She doesn't seem to like anywhere else so we'll keep her here!. Colin said she loved that ground. I'll look for something similar. We'll keep to the low class and try and win another one or two before the end of the season.
