He won well considering he's had a few setbacks. He was laid-up for a short while after his win in October and then for another three weeks in February.

The ground helped her turn the tables (on Olfa, second behind that one at Leopardstown 22 days ago. Olfa finished third here). She'll go for a fillies handicap at Gowran now and she's real straight-forward and genuine. M Halford, trainer

He (Windsor Palace) had a good run here the last day (third behind Excelebration) and he's a soft ground horse. We knew St Nicholas Abbey wasn't a heavy ground horse, everyone knows that. Joseph just let him find himself there and it was his first run back after Dubai. A P O'Brien, trainer

He would have been a good second but for falling at Punchestown. He's been on the go a long time now and he might have a rest. He could have some May grass and come back for Galway. J T Gorman, trainer

She's a nice filly and we'll look for stakes form now. She's a grand straight-forward filly and Billy gave her a nice ride, he was calm and not in any rush. David Wachman, trainer

She's had a lot of little setbacks since she was bought last year. She has a proper pedigree and she'll go jumping now. We'll kick on at this stage as we've been waiting for this nice ground. C A Murphy, trainer
