Natural survives scare to score

He jumped well but just missed out the second last and nearly paid for it,. It knocked his confidence a bit. He jumped the last adequately. He should progress for the run. Hopefully he'll make a nice hurdler. He would enjoy going further. Maybe 2m2f or 2m4f.

Seven lands gamble for Brassil

That's great - satisfying. He was in off a nice weight here,. Plenty of fellas were in a hurry to run horses early in the week and this race tends to thin out - luckily for him. Some of the faniced horses came out and I'm glad we took our chance in it. He's a nice honest horse and has done this well.

Vault makes all in nursery

He had a nice draw and jumped quickly. He travelled nicely in front and quickened well down the hill. He stayed on well to the line,. He was running off 90 there and give time hopefully he'll improve to go on to more than that.

Critic has to battle to land double

It was a good performance and a power packed ride from PJ Smullen, which probably won the day. Everything had to go right to win today. It was a much classier race. He's a horse that will be very impressive against a lesser class of horse but against better horses he had to battle. He's a big powerful horse and likes to get things his own way. He had to move up a gear today and against better horses you can see his limitations. Age is catching up with him a bit. He needs a break as he's a horse that needs to be fresh. He has been schooled over hurdles and jumps well. He could make into a nice hurdler and that would keep him sweet. A horse with his pace should be able to dominate and he'll enjoy being taken back all the time. He loves to jump and show off - he's a character.

Another Weld treble as Jackpot landed

It was good tactical ride from Pat. He said beforehand that he would be keen to make the running,. He was a very fit horse and knew his job. The blinkers helped him concentrate and he kept going to the line. We'll try and go for a Listed race with him. He didn't surprise me there as he's been working nicely. He idled at the Curragh last time and I was a bit disappointed with his run. We put blinkers on him the other day just to help him concentrate and they sharpened him up.

Pozyc returns to claim success

The extra bit of a trip was a big help. He'll probably mix it over hurdles and on the Flat for the rest of the season,. He travelled well throughout. He has been a bit frustrating but is getting stronger and coming right. He had a hard two-year-old season and that told against him at three. He's starting to shine again.

Lavery shines on Moscow

He's a smashing wee fella,. He's with Willie Mullins, so is in the right place. He's learning all the time. It's great experience riding out with Patrick, Ruby Walsh and the others. He's been with me since he was knee-high as his father helps out in the yard. He was absolutely brilliant and gave him the perfect ride. This horse is a grand type. I only had him 12 weeks before he ran in Down Royal. He was so straight forward and ran a blinder then. We had no great expectations then but we knew he wasn't too bad afterwards. We decided to give him a break after that and bring him here rather than run him at some of the summer tracks. He'll have another break now and we could bring him back for the meeting at Down Royal in November. We could go for a maiden hurdle or a winners' bumper there. That looked a reasonable contest today.
