Mr Master Mac a popular winner in the opener at Downpatrick

He has run around the country tracks and that is why we said we would come down here. He has all that experience. Tramore especially was a good run. He won his bumper in Sligo and coming up here, we thought he should handle the place, and it is hard to handle it. He's not the biggest, but he's very athletic and was well bought by James Hughes. Tom was good on him too. He's agile, he's small, and he can nip around these places. We will stick to the country tracks and try and pick up as many as we can.

Bruant swoops late to gain second course win

Joya Del Mar gains belated win for McLoughlin and Doyle

She's a tricky customer. I thought she would win before now, to be honest. Plenty of ability and a nice mare. She was in season here the last day, so we will put it down to that. Coming down the weights and Ricky said she did things easily. Better ground and she jumped well, she enjoyed herself, and that is half the battle with these fillies. She was tricky to get away at the start and different things, but she has plenty of ability. I think so (starting to put it together), about time now. We are fond of Downpatrick; it has been lucky for me. I have good ground horses, so it is a big help.
