Murchu's jumping passes the test

I was a bit afraid of the ground. He blundered and unseated Andrew at Down Royal the last day but Andrew said after the race that he'd win the beginners chase at Galway. He's done lots of schooling in the meantime and he jumped brilliant today. I nearly thought he'd win but he wouldn't want it any worse than soft.

Tugboat is anything but

I'm surprised he did it as well as he did. The track suited better than at Clonmel and in fairness he was entitled to improve. The owner said he felt he'd make a nice stayer and he's from a good staying family. I felt the ground was a little bit slow for him and he'll be a nice horse on nice ground in the spring. He'll go for those longer distance hurdles.
