Quotes on Chanceawetmorning (IRE)

I only stuck him in the race at 11.50 the other morning when I saw the very small entry. I thought the trip was a bit short for him, but he was very tough. He wants further so I was very worried about the trip. Jack said early he skidded into the first fence and lost his confidence a bit, but he stayed going very well. He probably wouldn't want real winter ground, but we'll see what happens. He's after winning five races for us this summer so it's great.

Quotes on Frankie John (IRE)

He is a lovely horse and was always going to be a chaser. He hasn't done any schooling since Galway, but I thought he didn't need to. Dan gave him a lovely ride and let him warm into the race. The Drinmore was always in my head for him, but he had to go close or win today to do that. We have the horse by default as he returned to us after initially being sold, but worse things than that have happened. He didn't have the best campaign over hurdles as the Martin Pipe Hurdle at Cheltenham had been his aim, but he missed it due to a dirty scope. He then finished fourth in a Grade 1 at Aintree and got a 10lb penalty. It is exciting to have him for this season, and I think 2m4f is spot on for him.

Quotes on Fruit De Mer (IRE)

I’m delighted with that, he jumped well and Darragh gave him a super ride. It’s what we hoped he might do and he’s a horse we like. Like any of ours we’d hope he’d step forward for the run as well. We definitely knew we had some nice young horses last year and he was unlucky not to win his bumper, as it got taken off him. He’s a nice horse, he’s raw and he’s going to keep improving. He picked up there once and then just sort of kept galloping. He’s got a bit of class and he’s a nice horse.

Quotes on I Started A Joke (IRE)

He did well in a schooling race in Tipperary a couple of weeks ago and we always thought he was a nice horse. Jack Bennett had done all the early work and point-to-pointed him, and then we got him. The point-to-point in which he finished fourth has worked out very well and there are a lot of winners from the race. He is a fine horse and is definitely one for the future. I'd say we'll stay in bumpers for now.

Quotes on Love Me Tender (FR)

he did it very well and I loved the way he was like a cat, dancing in front of the fences and jumping them the way he wanted. It looked as though Harry was just a passenger, and he actually said the same thing. In Galway he was keen but today he learned his lesson and backed off the fences and jumped them when he wanted. He learned from the first day and it was a nice performance. He could be a Drinmore horse in early December as he looked to have that ability today. He doesn't look like a mid-winter type but it is always drier in Fairyhouse, where the ground is like all the festival courses nowadays. We seem to race on really nicer ground now, due to drainage and everything at these tracks. I Will Be Baie (runner-up) came from off the pace and stayed on well, so he has a good outlook.

Quotes on Promontory (IRE)

That was lovely. He had a good run the last day in Navan on ground that I didn’t think he’d handle. We were expecting him to improve off the back of that,. He won a maiden hurdle last year, I thought it maybe wasn’t the strongest race and maybe he was lucky to win it but I always thought he’d stay that three or three-and-a-half miles and he did. A special thank-you to Aidan Kelly as he did a lot of schooling with him during the winter. Unfortunately he couldn’t ride him the last couple of times but he got a very good ride from Donagh. He jumped very well, Donagh said down the back he just kept jumping himself into it. He stayed all the way to the line and I’m delighted with him. Today was kind of the plan. When Aidan got off him after riding him at Fairyhouse, in a beginners chase, he said he’d be ideal for this race. He was always going to come here. That’s his second run in a handicap and hopefully he can keep progressing. He’s going to get a hike for that so we’ll see where we got after that.

Quotes on Sir Allen (GB)

He was a very good juvenile hurdler who also won a few Flat races, but was going through the motions recently, so we started schooling him over fences, which seemed to ignite him. He'll keep going over fences and will go on softer ground as well. We'll look for a rated novice chase now. It was a nice winning spare for Phily, who rides out for me.

Quotes on Kilbarry Saint (FR)

She had a good point-to-point run, but became disappointing in the interim when she became free and it took us a while to get the hang of her. She is an honest mare and, even though she is by Saint des Saints, she had a Flat pedigree and her dam is by Martillo. Black-type will be the ultimate aim, she is going the right way now and you'd never know she might be in the right place at the right time some day.
