Quotes on Koktail Divin (FR)

He was really good and we’re delighted with that. He jumped brilliant, Darragh was brilliant on him and he picked up really well. He’s had three runs so we’ll see what want to do now. Obviously the lads would love to go to Cheltenham so I’d imagine we’ll go there, and then it’s a matter of whether we’d have a run in between. The Dublin Racing Festival is a big meeting as well so we’ll see what everyone wants to do.

Quotes on Jacob's Ladder (IRE)

Jacob’s Ladder was stepping into a graded race and he has now won a lot of prize money (adding today’s €21,000). He was very gutsy and is going the right way over fences. He picked up and galloped, so we are very happy. He did get through the ground, although Jack said he struggled on it. He won't go to Cheltenham, we might look at Fairyhouse or Aintree all being well.

Quotes on Bossofthebrownies (IRE)

he has a bit of age and fences made a difference as he was crying out for them. He had some good form, he was second a few times but you can’t beat age. That’s his game anyway, he jumped great for his first time out. I’ll play it by ear now. The three-milers are hard to find and he’ll have to prove himself to be a graded horse before we think of that.

Quotes on Intense Approach (GB)

It has been painful! Going from his bumper wins and the way he works at home, it has been a calamity. He is a work-in-progress regarding his jumping. He has been very slow to learn and Ger Fox schooled him at the weekend and Ger couldn't believe how he hadn't got the hang of it. When he left him alone at a hurdle, he still needs a lot of help. It is a mental thing with him and hopefully he is switched on now. I told Alex to be very definite with what he wanted him to do at each hurdle - either to go short or to go long. It will come and that might boost his confidence. He has the engine there if he put it all together that he could turn into a really nice horse, but it is great to get that over with.

Quotes on Rocky's Diamond (IRE)

That was brilliant, it was some round of jumping to be fair. I was a bit worried beforehand that he had been very exuberant at home, standing off outside the wings. I was saying ‘if he gets one of these wrong, it’s not going to be good’. I’d say when he’s going on in a race, going faster, he does know what he’s doing even though he’s very exuberant. He’s a very good jumper. Michael had done a good bit of schooling on him, he knows when you see a long one on him just to go for it. I didn’t really want to go to Listowel as the fences are a little bit bigger and they are trappier. I wanted to get that out of the way, so we can afford to sit back and chill now a little and see where we go. We’ll probably look for a graded race somewhere. The Florida Pearl at Punchestown at the end of November is three miles - we’ll see. He’s only in nine weeks as well, which is a fair trial of him. He only came in on the first of July. He’s only tipping away, but he has a lot of natural ability - he’s a very good horse. It’s unreal to have a horse like him, I’m just pinching myself every day. It’s great.

Quotes on The Enabler (IRE)

That was great. He jumped great but Jack said he was very idle in front, going a bit left and right. He was a bit leery in front,. He’s a nice horse, we knew he had improved from the first day so we’re happy. You’ll probably see him going handicap chasing now rather than graded races. We’ll keep it small.

Quotes on Sandor Clegane (IRE)

He is a horse that gets into a nice rhythm and jumps well, he was probably jumping too well to that hurdle (second-last) and he just met it on a half stride. A bit of a guess just when we were starting to get rolling. Overall, he's a good jumper and it was a good performance. The two of us (Three Card Brag) probably were in the same boat in that we wanted a nice gallop, but neither of us were really mad to make it. We went along upsides and we went a nice, even gallop all the way. It kind of suited both of us and, in fairness, this lad picked up nicely into the straight. It is beautiful ground - it is just yielding, it isn't any slower. It is lovely jumping ground. We didn't declare for the Grade 1, we had a talk and some were for it and some against it. If he wasn't going to win this, he wasn't going to win the Grade 1 in an hour's time. Why take on a horse rated 10lb above you? He'd won one maiden hurdle and is the best horse we have in the yard, so it's nice to get another win with him. He'd prefer easier ground, it's as nice as he'd want it, but it's lovely ground and the track looks fantastic. Next to my father Dan Browne is the greatest gentleman I ever met and is a great supporter for the yard. I delighted for Jim Coffey and all the lads involved. It means an awful lot for every trainer to win here and thanks be to God we got one. We'll probably start off over two-and-a-half over fences next season and build it up. Please God it will lead to Cheltenham again. It's nice
