Steve scores for red hot Russell

Davy did a great job. He got the split when he needed them. The owners (Kathleen Smyth) husband Gerry lives close to here and he rushed over as he was cutting corn.

Another win for Annie Other

She stays well and it turned into a stamina test which suited her.

London Bridge obliges for favourite backers

It just worked out exactly the way I thought it would. Although it don't always work that way. I thought he would have to much pace for them and if he stayed that he would win. Obviously he stays well. I suppose all going well we will go to Listowel with him now and he will keep on the go for as long as the ground stays fast.

Never A Secret scores for Finnegan & Condon

Granaruid finally wins as Condon doubles up

The owners (JV's Syndicate) have been very patient with him. They are a great bunch of lads from Granard (Co Longford). He has met a couple of decent horses including Dermot Weld's horse Daffren Seal. He jumped like a buck today and goes on that summer ground. The horses are in good form at the moment.

Molly completes his hat-trick of wins

He had a lot of weight there as he is only a small horse. The handicapper will probably stop him now. He has had plenty of problems and his owner (Thomas Manning) has been great to keep him going. Thomas is from Kilbride, near Fairyhouse. He will go for a better three mile chase now so he will have a nice light weight. He definitely needs good ground so we will keep him going while we can.
