Bertutea impressive on Irish debut at Limerick
Starting Fifteen the toast of local Limerick punters
On his last run (finishing second to Talk The Talk) he was entitled to win most four-year-old maiden hurdles and he is a smart horse with buckets of toe. The secret to him is Sean Flanagan switching him off and getting him to relax. Sean came down to school him over hurdles in the past couple of weeks which was all in preparation for today so I'm delighted. He has a great bunch of owners so it's all good. He'll probably go for a novice next and he could end up running in one of the better handicaps in the spring. He is well bred and could also go back on the Flat next year, although it is important he settles.

Happy Dreams brings up Limerick double for O'Keeffe
That is his fifth time winning here and he loves this track. He went through a bad time for a while but is back to himself now and he is tough as nails. He is a lovely horse to train, he gives no trouble and is an old pet at home. He won the Tim Duggan Chase two years ago and he is declared to run again in two day's time from out of the handicap, so if he is ok he'll run again. I'm based out the road (in Cratloe) and I'd prefer winning here today than in Kempton even!
