Quotes on Spindleberry (IRE)
She shows a real liking for this place. I thought Danny gave her a lovely ride. Whether she goes on to Punchestown or not we’ll have a look at the programme and see how things are. She’s a nice mare for the future and I think she should be well able to go out to three miles next season. I was a little disappointed with Champ Kiely, but I think he was having to avoid the loose horse and may have taken his eye off it.

Quotes on Dinoblue (FR)
Dinoblue was very good today although I was hoping that Allegorie might get her own back after Cheltenham but it wasn’t going to be that way. Allegorie (a dual Grade 2 winner) is in foal to Jukebox Jury so she’s retired now. Dinoblue looks to be getting better and better and hopefully we have her for next season. I don’t see her going to stud for a while yet.

Quotes on July Flower (FR)
She was really good and looked electric in her jumping at some but sketchy at others. She was a high-rated mare and looked brilliant there. We might aim for Cheltenham in November next and while I was going three miles with her, I'm starting to wonder should I drop back to two. That sounds mad but she travelled effortlessly the whole way today. The three of my mares ran really well although Tareze's jumping was a little sketchy but hopefully she will warm up from that. The three ran as per their hurdle ratings.

Quotes on Only By Night (IRE)
I’m delighted, I’ve been wanting to have a horse for him (owner Brian Acheson of Robcour) for a long time and it’s a nice start. She’s a good mare,. She is genuine but she won’t go and win by two or three (lengths). She’s brilliant to jump and we got the result anyway. I don’t know where we go next but ultimately the (Mrs Paddy Power) Mares’ Chase in Cheltenham is the plan. That’s a nice start. The first day we ran her over two miles over fences we thought it was going to be way too sharp for her, but she’s just jumped so quick that she’s been effective at two miles. Two and a half miles won’t be a problem to her. There is a great programme for mares in novice company but it’s just not as good for mares-only. I think the next race is the Chich Fowler race in January (John and Chich Fowler Memorial Mares Chase at Fairyhouse).
