Victoria a star at Clonmel
She'll probably go for a novice hurdle now. I thought the trip would be a bit short but she is tough.
Jordan on the mark at Clonmel again
O'Connell by the minimum again
It usually favours the near-side (Pride Of The Lions) here so I wasn't sure if he'd held on. At long last anyway we're off the cold list. This fella is an eight-year-old and he is a long time a maiden over hurdles. He won three races on the flat in France and cost a lot of money at one stage. The owner is Patsy O'Brien and he is from Bennettsbridge in Kilkenny. He has Good Time Bob and Shaniv, who we think is nice, with me as well.
Leanne beats the boys in Wilderness
I needed to get a run into her but she was fit. She was a stone wrong in the handicap with Whatuthink. We'll see what Mr O'Brien does (the handicapper), the plans are in his hands.
Quest causes a surprise in mares chase
She jumped well at home but if she'd been 4th or 5th I'd have been happy. She was a crazy price, she is better than that as she had some great runs over hurdles. She always runs well fresh and we had got plenty of work into her. She is well-handicapped over hurdles so we'll mix it with her.
McNamara back in the number one berth
