Easy for Theatre on hurdles bow

Monarch keeps in-form connections on song

Deserved win for Hogan's Mezajy

I was quietly fancying him. He just had so many goes but without the blinds he was running on and off the bridle,. He loves it there in front. He came up for me at the last and when Davy Russell (on Zanjabeel) is breathing down your neck it's fairly scary. You either go long or you give up. I thought I was nearly nicked on the line but it's brilliant. The lads have been patient and John Mahon is a great owner. He's a Longford man who is based in New York. Possibly he'll go for the handicap hurdle on the Monday night at Galway, although I have three or four for it now. It's great he's got his head in front as he deserved it.

Kilbeggan brace for McManus

That was great. Things didn't go to plan for him in Bellewstown where the ground was a bit slow,. He won around here before and we rode him handier today. He stays well. Donal gave him a great ride. He rode a winner for me about a couple of months ago on Tay Lane. He's a nice fella and rides a bit of work for me so it's nice to give him a ride. It's always great to train a winner for that man as without him a lot of us would be out of business.

Very Newsworthy for the Cavanaghs

We're very happy with that. We thought he would have won a couple before this,. We decided to go chasing and step him up in trip. It was a little bit sharp in Limerick the last day and he made a mistake down the back and it caught him out. He ran on then and today the step up to two-mile six really suited him. Simon gave him a lovely ride and took the bull by the horns today and he left nothing to chance. He'll be a lovely staying chaser and there will be something nice for him in the spring. There is a nice race in him I'd say. He'll probably go to Galway but I'd say he'll go over hurdles there. He has a nice mark over hurdles and then we'll make a plan after that.
