Iniesta controls the Galway tempo

He's tough and he stays well although I'm not sure if he's 100 per cent happy on the ground. It's dead ground and testing.

Duke Focussed on his winner

Personally this means the world to me. Myself and Jim go back a long way. We first met in 1978 and he's been really good to me in many many ways. It's just fantastic to train a winner for them. I rang him on Thursday to say I was thinking of running here and he replied ‘Run him if he'll win!'

Northern Rocked another for Weld

Today was the day. It's just a pity his owner Mr Olivero is not here. He's from Italy and he's had horses with me for about 25 years. Because of the change of days [this race was originally scheduled to be run tomorrow] he wasn't able to change his travel plans. He (Northern Rocked) ran well in this race two years ago when Rock Critic won. He didn't get a clear run. Soft ground is the key to him. He's lost a little bit of his pace but he battled on well and handled this track really well.

Capitol Hill gives O'Brien treble

I thought he was a bit free early on, but Joseph gave him a fine ride and he won well. He won well in Killarney where the ground was quite fast, but that proves he may be quite a good hurdler come the winter time.
