Express brings back memories of Galevilla

See You Smile (beat only one home) would prefer quicker ground and Dart Queen (6th) we thought was the best of the three. She wants further on that kind of ground. Beauty Express did it well, Gary gave her a very good ride. With that wide draw we thought she might struggle. The cheek-pieces certainly helped. Kevin (Manning) said when the gap opened for her in Dundalk she looked around a bit so she's still learning her trade.

Hello Man a very popular winner at Listowel

He handled the ground well as we were worried it mightn't suit. We are mainly a point-to-point yard and this fella has won two races for us now.

O'Donoghue does it his way on Separate

We had three worries . the draw, the ground and the weight. He is a really tough horse and did it very well. We have no real plan for him; maybe he has done enough for this year. I'm also thrilled with Lime Tree Valley (3rd). He'll run over the coming months on the all-weather.

Alburj another for Weld & Smullen

Loosen My Load delights Listowel crowd

Brook makes it four on the bounce at Listowel

I'm delighted with that as Paul said he hated the ground, he'd want it looser. He said that he asked him three out when he shouldn't have and that he was surprised that he picked up so well after that. He also felt that he had plenty of horse under him when the other horse (Takeyourcapoff) came to him. Tipperary in October and possibly Cheltenham the following month would be on our minds now.

Ballyhaunis impresses in maiden hurdle

I think quite a bit of him and I think he'll make a nice novice for the winter. He has the option of going back on the flat for the Cesarewitch or we'll find a nice novice hurdle for him.

Rebel Fitz excites on debut

That was great and this horse is a super jumper. I said when he first arrived in the yard that he looked like Master Minded.
