Must Meet Cecil returns to action with a victory

That was grand, it's nice to get him back. He's been off a while with an injury and we've given him plenty of time. He did it well and think he'll come on from it, hopefully he'll improve a bit. That's his third claiming hurdle win and if we hang on to him, it would be great. Hopefully, he'll be okay tomorrow after this.

Prove Yourself does just that in Tramore

Star Official different class to the opposition

I would have been disappointed if he wasn't competitive here. Most of his form is good. Naas wasn't as good the last day, but sure he had loads of good runs before that. He was a good third in Cork before Christmas in a good handicap hurdle and third again at Clonmel. Someone was backing him today, but it wasn't me. He runs well most of the time, but hardly ever wins. I'd say he'd jump a fence sooner rather than later, it'll get harder for him now with another penalty for this. He might go on the Flat too, he ran well on the Flat before.

Harvey boots home another winner on Our Zebo

He was always a nice horse at home, but he wasn't giving us all the effort that he should have. He is the best work horse that we've ever had on the beach. He is a real nice horse and thank God he won for Bosco (John O'Hagan), who is a real good owner. He was second there the last day at Downpatrick and I think dropping him out is the key to him. I'd say it's the only way to ride him. He is only six and the day he won his point-to-point he won it on the bridle. Hopefully, he'll keep improving . Alex Harvey is up with us a couple of days a week now and hopefully everything keeps going right for him too.

Pipers Boreen one for Nolan and Stone-Walsh

We were a little bit worried about the ground. We walked it and thought it was safe enough for her to run anyway. We weren't sure that she'd be at her very best on it. The bit of experience helped her as well, she jumped super. She does want soft ground or we thought she wanted soft. Conor said it is riding soft enough, though. She has been around Tramore before and was unlucky when second here, she didn't get the run of the race. She's owned by Tom Birmingham, who has been really patient with her.

Island McCoo off the mark in Tramore

He ran a nice race the last day at Limerick (in seventh) and we thought that he'd run a nice race here today. We thought that the ground had kind of gone for him because it's a little bit soft, but he seemed to be happy enough on it. The owners do a good bit of work with him, they get him going for me and then send him down. His owners kind of tell me what to do with him, they are good men, they know where to go and they told me to come down here. It took me four hours, but they told me to come! We had one finish third earlier as well, so it's all good. That's my fourth winner now and I have 10 in at the moment. I have more for the summer, as the tracks near me are all back on.

Ta Se Rua a welcome track winner for Healy at 33/1

Gordon's horse (Elliott, Last Round) was only a few lengths ahead of him at Thurles the last day, so I thought he wouldn't be far away from him again today. He didn't really get the three miles and a furlong there, so I was hoping the trip today would suit. I've had him since he was a foal and he is a family pet. All the lads in the yard ride him and it's unlucky for Evan Daly. He would have been riding him but he was short one ride in a point-to-point to ride in this race. Andy gave him a super ride and is great value for his 7lb. His dam is a half-sister to horse called Lough Derg that Martin Pipe used to have. He would stay forever, but this fella doesn't quite get the three mile trip. He might get it when he is 14!
