Sligo Wed, 7th Aug, 2019  In From The Cold he stuck at it well. He was a fraction slow away and was nearly in top gear the whole way. In the last furlong he was only getting going. He's still a bit green and I think he'll improve again off that. Well done to Mick for running him back like that before he got the 7lb (ratings hike). Hopefully he'll win again. He's a good honest horse and tries hard. He wants further.

Sligo Wed, 7th Aug, 2019  Grove Hill that was great. Poor Mick is in hospital so hopefully that will cheer him up. I think it's just something minor — a check up. I jumped and got a nice position. I thought we went a real good gallop and she just saw it out but she's a good honest filly. I think she'll jump a hurdle too. She's here to be claimed, I suppose, and whoever claims her will have a lot of fun with her. She's a good genuine filly.

Ballinrobe Mon, 22nd Jul, 2019  Ideal Pal He's a horse that's improving all the time,. I was happy enough with how the handicapper treated him for the last day as he's going forward the whole time and filling into himself. The Friday night in Galway was the plan but we'll just have to wait and see how the handicapper treats him now. Down the line I can see him making up into a serious three-year-old hurdler. I trained the sire and the dam and knowing that breeding, the softer the ground the better they get.
