Holohan seen to good effect riding out 10lb claim
Bryant books place on All-Weather Finals Day
He's a horse that is still improving with every run. He's still big and a little bit narrow, so I think June/July he will be a proper horse. I will give him a little break now and he will go to the All-Weather Finals Day on Good Friday in Newcastle. He had to come here today to have his third run to qualify for that. I'm very happy with what he did.

Carolina Jetstream completes a double for Robson and AMO
She finished fourth in a Listed race (Dundalk, November) and we were unlucky not to get black type that day. Probably she will go to Newcastle as well, for the mile. I will try and get black type with her next season. When she learns how to race, I think she will stay a mile and two no problem. At the moment, she needs to run over seven or a mile because she is a little bit fresh. When she drops her head, I think a mile and two will be no problem. Last time Billy (Lee) said she did a little bit too much and she was a little bit free and fresh, so he said to drop her to seven furlongs. I think there is a lot of improvement when she matures, definitely.
Coen again clicks with Clonmacash
He is a money spinner, and he was just unlucky the last day. Sam gave him a great ride there this evening; he is very strong for his claim. He's a good, fun horse to have in the yard. Ado is over in Ascot for the trainers’ association.
Ocean Manifest another Dundalk winner for Thorne and Kearney
Very consistent. It took a long time for him to win the maiden, but we kept him lightly raced, kept him sweet, and I think that has been the key to him. He had a breathing operation last April, so it has just taken a bit of time to get the confidence back into the horse. He has been a revelation there this winter, holding his form really well. Delighted for John Kirkland and his wife Jeanette, and also Jim and Geraldine Ryan who have been great supporters of me so far, they have a couple of nice horses with me. I'm just delighted this horse is flying the flag for the winter months. We will look for something similar next. We might be out of the '80' bracket, but we will look for something hopefully in the '90' grade in a month's time and we will see what is there. I'm not sure whether Newcastle would suit but we will come up with a nice plan for him. Possibly Lingfield. He's a real good-ground horse and he wants a flat track. He will be a nice horse for the summer months, I'm sure. He's lightly-enough raced and I'm hoping that there is more improvement to come. He's definitely a better horse over the mile trip.
