William follows-up in style

When you run them twice in the week you're only gambling but we said we'd strike as the iron was hot and I don't actually know where I'm going to go with him now. Life is going to get harder now and he wants top of the ground but it's nice to get two wins back to back. He's a lovely little horse, is a great jumper and is an ideal horse for the lads to ride as he's a safe fellow. As long as the weather stays dry we'll keep going.

Ri rules in the second at Tipp

That's a lot of work culminating in waiting for a bad race, and we hung on to him for a month for this. He is rated 100 and I didn't want to run him over hurdles so had to keep him qualified for this, so it's good. He jumps great and is a little reluctant as you've seen but it's great to get his head in front because he is the anti-racehorse unfortunately and doesn't really want to do it!. He has a nice bit of ability for this time of year if he puts his mind to it and is home-bred by the owners as well so that is important too. His jumping kept him in it and to be fair he has run a lot of good races.

Dreams delivers Tipperary/Newton Abbot double for De Bromhead

Chit Chat another for de Bromhead & Blackmore

Solerina's Sommers adds another string to her bow

she jumped really well out in front and gave an exhibition of jumping and the experience really stood to her. She was given 14lbs for winning at Kilbeggan last year and it put her out of hurdles; I had never any intention of going chasing with her but from the first day she schooled well over fences and I'm just relieved now that she had that as an option as she is so badly handicapped over hurdles. We'll see what the handicapper does with her now and it's great to win here; her mother won a Grade 1 here and is back in foal at 21 years of age to Vandegarde. She has two Yeats foal, a four year old with Enda Bolger and a three year old with Mags Mullins and has a Getaway colt foal this year. She (Jaime Sommers) is the only filly I have out of Solerina so is very important and is also only six and today was her 38th run today. She is consistent, minds herself and is fierce sound. I'd love to get black-type with her eventually.
