Hills Of Glory finishes nicely for Donoghue
Extra tuition stands to Goodie Girl in Downpatrick
Paddy comes into us a couple of mornings a week - good lad, he works hard and is trying his best to get going at it like a lot of young fellas. He rides well and is improving all the time. Hopefully, he is going to go places. I'd say so (ground was the issue the last day) and she was on the back of two heavy falls. She was going to win one day in Leopardstown. We had her over with Robert Power during the week jumping poles and that stood to her. Try all these things and see if we can get things better. She won her over the same trip two years ago and just outstayed them up the hill. She does stay well.
Sights Unseen brings up Cromwell's double
Coffeys Forge takes to fences in the north
A plan comes together for Grageen
We said we would aim for this year. He's a good-ground horse, he'd a lovely run over the banks in Punchestown. We have been waiting for this. Solid form, he's only a couple of lengths off Sean Doyle's good horse (Willitgoahead) on a couple of occasions, so it wasn't a fluke. We were coming here reasonably optimistic, I'm more of a pessimist than an optimist unfortunately!. He went and got the job done and that's the main thing. We will probably sit quiet for three or four weeks.
Asphalt Cowboy relishes Downpatrick's undulations
He loves it here - up and down, and it suits him. Michael gets on great with him and he does a great job on him. He's (Sharpe) very, very good, he rode a winner in between for Arthur Moore (Flying Trix, Down Royal) a couple of weeks ago. It wouldn't matter what trip, he could win over two miles that lad once he puts his mind to it.
