Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Chutzpal (IRE)

I'm really happy with that. We took a bit of a punt bringing him back, but he is going to get a fair hike after Wednesday and he seemed in great form. He got 16lb for Wednesday which was probably fair. I'm delighted for his owners, we've already had a lot of fun with him. We will give him a little break now, I'm not used to running them that quick. . He's got loads of options and could go back on the Flat. We'll back off him for a couple of weeks as he's been busy. I'm delighted for Ethan as well, he gave him a great ride.

Quotes on Lygon Lad (IRE)

It was a dramatic start, but he was in a lovely position. Turning for home, Jack obviously picked off the horse (Baila Conmigo) that was leading him up the hill. We knew he would stay really well. He had a bit of time off, but he has built on every run so far this season and it is lovely to see him do that because he deserved it. He had a handicap mark (105), but it was nice to go back and try and win a maiden with him because we were confident he was capable of doing that.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on Sunny South West (IRE)

He has been unlucky on a few of his recent runs and he wasn't right one day at Roscommon, but today he finally got to run over two miles. We were very confident coming here as Sean's (Dalton, owner) other horse with me, Rokanako, finished second to the favourite Teofil earlier this summer, so we had a good line on form. Rain arrived, however, so we weren't too sure, as he loves very quick ground. We'll go back jumping now and go to Cheltenham's October meeting, where Michael (Kenneally) will be able to ride him in a conditionals jockeys' race. The idea of getting Michael today was that he is very good to ride from the front, he claims 5lb and will be on board in Cheltenham too, so it ticked all the boxes.
