Quotes on Will Do (IRE)
He jumped great apart from missing one down the back the last time. I was delighted to see something going on after a few hurdles just to give him a bit of a lead. He's a nice horse and he'll probably be better suited by a more galloping track. He was just ready to start off and Jack said there's plenty of improvement in him. He's a chaser down the road, he has a good attitude and is very relaxed. Anything from 2m6f to three miles should suit him and he'll probably step up to Listed or Graded company now.

Quotes on Backmersackme (IRE)
That was great. Sean said he was a bit flat to the boards early doors and he let him find his rhythm jumping and he was able to sneak into it at the third last. It was pretty clear sailing from there. He’s improved. I was saying to Sean beforehand that there was a handicap hurdle in Navan last year, the Proudstown, and the winner was Mark Fahey’s horse (Flicker Of Hope) who is going for the Irish National. We were second and Oscar’s Brother was third, so we were the only horse that hadn’t gone and done something over fences yet. That was strong form and it’s all come together now. I suppose over the trip the slower ground helped, definitely. I think ground-wise he’s fairly versatile. He had a tongue-tie on today as well so that probably helped with the slower ground. The plan was the National Hunt Chase over 3m5f at Cheltenham. He was 125 today and that’s 145 so that should be still on the cards. He’ll have a bit more weight now but we’ve a great pot behind us so we can’t complain.

Quotes on Iceberg Theory (IRE)
He bends his knee and wouldn't want the ground any faster but it was hard not to take our chance, with the race being for horses rated 120 or less. There is no point taking on the better horses and, it's amazing, not many of those better ones go out on grass at this time of year and many are still around. The maiden hurdle he won didn't turn out to be anything but he had a few nice runs, he stays well and had a good run the last day at Wexford, when his jumping was sketchy early-on.
