Dark start for punters with Scamall Dubh

It's lovely to get a winner here as it's a big stage and a lot of us don't get many chances at the likes of Cheltenham or Aintree. He jumped well and stays all day.

Xsquared completes five-timer in style

We only got him in January and he’s been fantastic and is so tough. Kevin said we could step him up in trip, and that would give him more options as well. He could come back here for a Graded race later in the year if the ground is suitable. This is what it’s all about, winning here at the Festival.

Slow start/fast finish for a Total Demolition

I laughed when the stalls broke as he’s like an old woman out of them. He was drawn 18 of 18 yesterday and was very slowly away so his race was over before it even started. This was the race I really wanted to go for but he was 19 in the ballot and I couldn’t believe he got in. He’s won three now this year which is great. He could run again here on Saturday. I have ten riding out at the moment which is a lot less than I normally would have, and I’d love to have a few more.

Planchart gives Slattery another big win

I think if they re-ran the race in Naas the last day she’d win and Billy Lee thinks the same way,. That’s as short as she wants to go today, and she won’t run over seven furlongs again. She’s a Listed winner now, and that’s the main thing for Mr Garvey. Every time she runs she finishes well, and we probably over-faced her a few times last year. She works with Creggs Pipes at home and sits in behind which suits her. We have won a Listed race and a Premier Handicap now so it’s been some week. I. I’ve a nice bunch of horses this year. We were unable to sell a few in the breeze-up sales which left us with a few nice ones.

Sas secures second hurdles success

I'm very happy with him. Coming back in trip he jumped well and the way he jumped he could probably come back further in trip,. He's really awesome jumping and is a pure natural. I'll look for novice hurdles for him in the summer/autumn. I'm not sure he wants real heavy ground and we'll do what we can while the ground is nice. He disappointed in bumper and made hard work of winning one but hurdles have transformed him and he looks a much better horse over hurdles. We'll know more about him when we up him in grade.

Dylan looks improver for Tom Mullins

We took a bit of a chance coming here but she seemed to come out of her last race well,. She was 6lb well in today as she got 11lb for winning at Leopardstown so that swayed me to come here. She overcame a bad draw and Gary was brilliant on her. He's a jockey that has really come of age. He took his time and knew the filly he had underneath him. Hopefully she'll keep progressing. She might come back here in September but there are plenty of fillies race for her.

Poormans springs shock in bumper
