Salley impresses in the opener at Navan
She's a winter horse and it takes some getting the two and a half miles in soft ground at Navan. She put in a superb jumping display and settled very well. The plan now is to find a nice mares novice hurdle,.
Roles reversed as luck shines on Oscar
Its funny how things turn around as he fell in this race last year when it looked like he'd win. I hope the soft ground will not have taken too much out of him as he'll line up for the Hattons Grace at Fairyhouse in three weeks. I'm surprised he ran as well as he did coming off a break. The favourite falling obviously made it easier but Paul felt he had the winning of the race anyway,.
Cyclone continues to blow strongly
I've always said from day one that I think the world of this horse. His jumping was a bit sticky but Andrew said that when they go quicker that he'll jump better. I hope he's right as he'll need to jump better if he's to go for the top novice races. He needs at least two and a half miles,.
Elliott brothers combine with Cayo
He's improved a good bit from last season, and we'll probably aim him for something similar at Leopardstown over Christmas. He will go chasing at some point this season.
Zeb makes a winning return
It's more of a relief because of the ground as he's definitely better on good ground. It's not ideal running on ground as heavy as that but it's a case of getting a run into him. I'm delighted with the way he jumped, and feel he's growing up a bit and is stronger, more mature and settling better in his races. He'll go next for the Dial-A-Bet Chase at Leopardstown over Christmas,.
Saludos has punters smiling
He loves going left-handed and likes that ground. He may have needed the run last time at Punchestown, and the aim now is Leopardstown at Christmas which will suit him. This was a decent beginners chase.
