Curragh Mon, 4th May, 2026  Summer Island He was in good form coming here and, he came out of his Bellewstown race very well. The ground was probably a little bit soft for him the last day, good ground here today suited him better. Paddy gave him a nice even ride, very straightforward. He picked up nicely and,galloped to the line. Hopefully, he'll be consistent in his grade, or even if he goes up a little bit, he'll still be consistent throughout the season for the owners.

Limerick Sat, 25th Apr, 2026  Hellorhighwater the syndicate are a bit of a mix from the north (of Ireland), two of the guys are now living in Dubai and flew home for this, so it is lovely to get this winner. They are delighted. We put together the partnership this year and bought this horse privately from Eoin McDonagh of Shanaville Stables after he has won at Cork (last September). We do a lot of business with Eoin and he is very good to advise on his horses. He won his maiden for Gavin Cromwell and went unsold at the sales afterwards but we liked him, so came home from that sale and put a partnership together to buy him. He is a Premier Handicap prospect now and he could be one to consider for the Galway Mile later in the summer. He handles soft ground and he has no problems with the ups-and-downs, as he is quite balanced. He is one to look forward to.
