Down Royal Sat, 20th Jun, 2026  Albatala Too impressive! The ground is important to her. Cillian (McConnell) rode her in the Student Derby (Curragh, 2023) and led everywhere bar the line that day and cost us a lot of money - I'm only forgiving him now!. She loved that ground and the last day was probably too quick for her. I think anything with 'good' in it is probably too quick for her. I told Gary she stays well and that's why he sent her on, but he didn't realise he had sent her on that much. I’m delighted for the owner who has been very, very patient with her and me, and got his reward today, so hopefully she can go on. She has obviously hurdle form as well, so she might mix it through the summer.

He was tough there today. He's actually getting more genuine as he gets older!. He's not a world-beater, but he's pretty consistent. I'd love a few more like him to be honest.
