That is his fifth time winning here and he loves this track. He went through a bad time for a while but is back to himself now and he is tough as nails. He is a lovely horse to train, he gives no trouble and is an old pet at home. He won the Tim Duggan Chase two years ago and he is declared to run again in two day's time from out of the handicap, so if he is ok he'll run again. I'm based out the road (in Cratloe) and I'd prefer winning here today than in Kempton even!

That is my second winner this week and we have been lucky. This is his third win at Limerick and he loves it here. He was well-in at the bottom of the weights and young Mark gave him a lovely ride. We had a metal manufacturing business in Shannon and I found the sport was a great way of getting to know customers. We are racing a long time now and this has been a good week, although you'd need it. The horses were going ok at home, are happy but I never think we will win as everyone else does too! I'm very happy with what we achieved this week and when you get a winner everyone is happy - the guys in the yard are much more interested in their work and everyone feels a lot better.

it was a slowly ran race and it was a bit short for him but he isn't too bad and is very genuine and tough. He had to work hard and knuckle down to win. He is tough, like myself!. He has probably enough done now for this season.

Happy Dreams was a bit unlucky the last day when he fell at the last. He probably wasn't going to win but was going ok and I think he learned from the fall. He is a bit hyper, we had the hood on today and it settled him. He won't be a star but will be ok and he'll be good enough for us! He'll come back here again at Christmas.
