Quotes on Galileo Noir (IRE)
Galileo Noir is a good horse and it’s easier when they are good! At Naas the last day, he arrived into contention going really easy, but blew up and just got tired. I was a bit worried that the trip (1m1f) might be too far, but they went steady. He has loads of boot and Colin said we could bring him back to a mile, but I’d say a mile-and-a-quarter will suit him well. He has quite a nice pedigree, and he’s a good-looking horse who probably likes that ground as well. It’s great to win and we’ll just take one day at a time with him. We’ll enjoy that and see where we go from there.

Quotes on Rebel Ascendant (GB)
He’s a classy horse, it’s rare one of mine will win first time out,. I’m probably known for training shorter distance horses but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the journey with this lad, I bought him as a yearling and we were patient. Whatever he does in the first six months of the year is always going to be a bonus. He’s a big angular horse, unfurnished, and he’s very exciting going forward. He was very green but credit to James he was in front at the line. He gave him a nice education down the back and just wheeled out for a clear run up the straight. It all went well. There should be plenty more. He’s a mile-two, and could even be a mile-and-a-half horse in the future as he furnishes. He’s just good and it’s a nice start here today. He’s in the Classic here. Eddie Scally thankfully text me a couple of days before it closed and I said this lad was working well and we’d put him in it, so we might come back here.

Quotes on Sir Benji (IRE)
He had a turn of foot on it (ground). Looking at the pedigree, I don't think anything has gone any further than a mile. I was conscious there to drop him out and give him a chance to come home. He showed a lovely turn of foot. He (Carroll) said he really handled that ground, and I suppose (other) horses hate that tacky ground. He actually enjoyed it.

Quotes on Marjorie Daw (IRE)
She came on from her first run and is a nice progressive filly that will probably step up in trip next year. She needed the long straight and another furlong wouldn’t go astray.

I told anyone to back her today each-way. She’s a nice filly. She needs a bit of time, Ben said she is still very green. We have her about two months and we liked her, she was in pre-training.
