Quotes on Fleur In The Park (IRE)

He was only about 80% fit in Gowran (second on chase debut). He wasn't ready there. He cantered down to the third-last and just blew up. We knew he'd improved a lot. . Henry de Bromhead (trains Gowran winner Taponthego) said to me that he is a two-miler and he could be right. He could be just a two-mile chaser as he jumps so well. To get over a beginners chase in Ireland is a hard thing. The runner-up is rated145. . We could go travelling with him. Somewhere like Ascot, where there is a lot of jumping. We won't run him for a month anyway. I didn't want to tempt faith and make a plan before today.  . We always thought he'd be better over fences and hopefully he will be. He used to jump hurdles too big.  . I was actually not going to run him today because of the ground. I was going to run him in a Grade 3 at Cork on Sunday over two-and-a-half. They are probably as easy to win as a beginners chase.  . We'll make a plan now after this and it's nice to have him.

Quotes on Western Fold (IRE)

He is a good horse, was rated 157 today and is still a novice for the year. He could head to Down Royal for the Champion Chase or we could keep him for the Drinmore (novice). He loves jumping and Danny gets a good tune out of him. I was going to put Jack (Kennedy, stable jockey) on him but come Down Royal and the Drinmore, Jack will have other horses to ride so I kept the combination together. We brought him to Ayr one day when he lost his confidence but is back going the right way now. He didn't win until Tipperary in May so is a novice for the whole season, and I don't know if there are as many novices with the experience that he has. We have loads of options but I was nervous about meeting deep ground here today but when we came here, I was happy to run.

Quotes on Senecia (IRE)

he has plenty ability but had a lot of issues although is back on the straight and narrow now, so hopefully he can get to the Galway Plate next. He had a recent wind procedure done which seemed to help a lot at home as his work had been very good. We also brought him to the beach but until they run, you don’t know what to expect. Coming into today’s race, I thought he was as good as ever and thought he would have a squeak. If you go back to his Webster Cup win or his run in the Fortria Chase a couple of years ago, he has put in big runs. He just needed that wind procedure done to help his breathing. He is as fresh as ever, still retains a lot of ability and he is just one of two horses I have at the moment — the other is a companion and point-to-pointer. I also work for trainer Eoin Griffin too and it would be great to get this horse to the Galway Plate now.

Quotes on Blood Destiny (FR)

Great tactical rides by both Darragh and Paul. They were the only two horses that stayed on the inside the whole way around. It's a big track to be giving away ground on the outside. This fella rated 150 carrying 12 stone in a good handicap; that was a real good performance. That's always in him but he hasn't always given us that. He's disappointed me on occasion, but he was very good there today, . I'd imagine we'll follow the same plan as we did last winter. I'd like to see if there's a nice race for him in Listowel. That will probably be the next option. I think there's a 2m4f race there that Easy Game used to win. That could be an objective.

Quotes on Banbridge (IRE)

We didn't expect him to win, but thought it'd be a nice place for him to get the season off to a start. He really went through the race with great enthusiasm and he won snug. We are having a think about an American option for him and he also has some options at home. We'll have a chat with Ronnie and see what he'd like to do. It was just great to see him come back and show that enthusiasm. He likes to win races.

Quotes on Jesse Evans (IRE)

he was well in at the weights so my only little worry was that we were coming back from fences and it was quick enough too since Killarney. I’m delighted for him because he’s after having a couple of tough races: it’s lovely to get an easy one like that. He’ll probably go back to Galway but he won’t go for the Hurdle and I don’t think he’ll go for the Plate either as I think it’s too far for him, and he’s gone up in the weights as well. He’s a lovely horse and the Grimes Hurdle in Tipperary might be worth looking at. The boys (Singleton family, owners) are from Cork and we (County Meath) beat Cork the other day so there was a bit of banter!
