Doldido provides popular Sheahan with win

He had a great run last year at Mallow but when he came back, a month ago his bloods weren't right. He's well bred and while he might find it tough going up in grade, there'll be fun to be had out of him. His mother (Dromhale Lady) was a good tough mare and had stamina. Unfortunately she died and he was actually raised by a piebald mare.

Prince Garyantle hacks up for Smith/Lynch

I wasn't expecting him to win by that far and I was a little worried about the ground. I didn't think the ground would be a problem but we haven't ran him on that ground before. It seemed not a bother to him though. We'll try and pick out another race next but will leave fences to next year.

Small World benefits from serious Walsh ride

He was a little bit unlucky the last day when Ronan (Short) rode him but gave him a good ride as well but in fairness Ruby gave him some ride. It was a serious ride. They probably didn't go quick enough and he looked like he was flat-out across the top when they were quickening away down the hill. I thought we were beaten but in fairness he stayed battling away. He'll stay tipping away in those races until the ground gets heavy. He's a handy little horse and I think he'll be better in a better race as carrying over 11st is a lot for him. We'll have to go a little bit higher now but it's great he has won again.

Network sizes up fences to perfection

He's been very consistent but I thought he'd never win, and it's only five days after his last run. He has always been a super jumper and has just got confidence now and ran his best race the last day at Navan. He's a gorgeous looking horse and while he is an eight year old, he is actually getting stronger.

Rocknroll takes bumper for Mullins

He has always worked very well but it has just taken him this long to get fit. He's a big horse and is very hard on himself at home as he's quite keen. We were always minding him because of that but when he got beaten twice we trained him harder and it has made the difference. There's a story of when my father went around on the road here (race-riding) one day and that's why they have the red and white markers up. I didn't quite go down the road but wasn't far off it! So I don't know if it was soft ground made the difference to him today. I was disappointed with him in his first two runs but it was great to get that on the board and we'll see what Willie wants to do now. At least he's starting to do on the track what he does at home.
