Warrior upsets Plan to make winning hurdling debut

.He’s a lovely sweet horse. Our horses weren’t healthy last year and he didn’t perform at all,. He was a 33/1 shot this morning but we did come here thinking we had a chance, I told Darragh we’d nearly win. He’s a very straightforward horse, he’s good and genuine, and he jumps very well. He’s easy to deal with. He’ll be there for the summer and hopefully there is a bit more fun in him. They went a good gallop from the word go. I was saying to Darragh if that didn’t happen he could nearly make the running if he wanted. I’d say because it was an even gallop the trip suited him but he’s possibly a two-and-a-half mile horse. I’d say he’ll make a summer chaser in time. He’s a lovely looking horse but he’s not a big huge scopey horse. He’s a summer horse anyway.

Malbas Madness proving a real Kilbeggan specialist

He won well. He said he was a bit keener today than the last day but he’s going the right way and he’s a grand horse,. He just got a little bit lit up today, he said he didn’t get as much cover, but he said he finished out the race well even after being a bit keen which is always a good sign. We’ll see what the handicapper does and make a plan from there.

She’s a smashing mare. She’s only six-year-old and we thought the world of her all the time,. She lost her form during the winter. She’s a Cloudings, I thought if the ground was well watered today she’d have a right chance. She’s a good tough honest mare. Herself and her workmate Kate Knows Best, who won the other day, are good mares. I have a bunch of very nice mares and she’s one of them. She’ll probably go over fences before the season is out. She’s a lovely scopey mare. They are in great form, that’s four winners in a few days so it’s a great start.

Beggars makes breakthrough over fences

That was lovely. He had a couple of very good runs in chases, he was unlucky in Tramore when making a mistake at the last,. We bought him for small money and he’s been very profitable for the syndicate. That’s his second win and he’s been placed numerous times. I’m delighted with him, he’s a lovely horse. It was a very competitive race. He’s marked where he’s marked now and might go up a couple of pounds for that. It will be interesting to see what he’d do in handicaps. He seems to be better over fences for some reason, I don’t know why. Kevin gets on with the owners and he’s a grand horse to have. We might have a crack at the Connacht National in Roscommon, that’s the one that comes to mind. Any win on any night is good so we’re delighted.
