Days Hotel good on chasing bow
Cross Appeal too good for well-touted rivals
Groody Hill lands a punt
3 from 3 for Make A Track
I'd say it wasn't too bad a maiden hurdle. He's a nice horse with a good cruising speed and he stays well. He's a horse that probably doesn't like to be in front too long. We'll go small steps with him and find a novice hurdle somewhere.
Cairdin finds more when it's needed
He's tough out and I think he'll be a smashing chaser. He's been a bit of a baby and we'll give him a chance now. He'll come back around Christmas time for some of those novice races. There is a two mile six at the Limerick Christmas meeting that he could go for. Danny was good on him . he was strong when he needed to be.
Irish Soul continues his rise
He is flying at the minute. I got him in the summer after he'd just seemed to lose his way. He is trained from outside . he's out 24/7 and he does better outside. I told Paddy to go around the outside on him . he doesn't like getting jostled along the rails. He got 9Ibs for Fairyhouse and we took off five here with Paddy's claim just to be sure. We'll see what Noel (O'Brien, the handicapper) does now. He has schooled well over fences and he has that option too.
Missunited is a good one
To be honest I'd have been disappointed if she'd been beaten but I've been disappointed before. She reminds me of Sonia O'Sullivan in that she is lean, mean and there isn't a pick on her. Niall gave her a fine intelligent ride and she'll go the mares bumper route now.
