Hopes Are High lands juvenile maiden on debut for Durkan

Secret is out as Gibney charge gains overdue win

His jumping fell apart in Galway the last day but, overall, he is a brilliant jumper. Today's jump at the last wasn't very good but he jumped very well. We didn't know what went wrong at Galway but Jordan (Gainford, jockey) said he wasn't man enough for that tight competitive handicap. He was down to a very ordinary maiden hurdle today and while he would prefer further, everything else was in his favour. It is brilliant for the syndicate as there are two Ballinrobe men, Damian Conway and Eoin Rowe involved, along with Leonard Kinsella, who is the Laytown connection, and has been with me a lifetime. He'll go over fences sooner rather than later.

I was sick that she didn't get into a Listed hurdle at Galway, as she was second reserve and the first reserve got it. She is high class and progressive. I didn't break her until she was a five-year-old so she is seriously progressive and has a great pedigree.'

He had been disappointing since we got him but has turned the corner now. He had been jumping really well at home but wasn't taking it to the track and had falls which affected his confidence. He has back to himself now and while we wouldn't normally run them back so quick, he came home well from Wexford so we took our chance. We were running him over two miles over hurdles all along and we didn't think he needed further, but it looks like we were running him over the wrong trip. He is handicapped over fences so has plenty options now.
