Karbau keeps the ball rolling for Mullins
That was a nice performance. He learned a lot from the first day and put it to good use,. He was taking about half-a-length out of most of them (at his hurdles). I’m very pleased with him. He’s in the Supreme Novices’ and Turners. He’s a forward-going type and he likes to race and jump. . If he finds a bit of improvement, he’s right up there. I’d be happy enough that he’s a good calibre horse. He loved that ground. . Zillow ran well in third, I’d say he’s more of a spring ground horse.
O’Sullivan eyeing Boodles with Slurricane after jumping breakthrough
Maughreen shortens for Cheltenham after victorious hurdling debut
I thought it was a huge performance for a mare having only her second run, against the experience that Familiar Dreams (third) had.
Port completes treble for Mullins and Townend
At last he’s improving, that fella. He’s probably not the simplest horse to ride, he’s very fussy with his mouth and we might try and sort that out,. Paul said when he got down and rode him he went straight for him and he was happy but he has a very tender mouth. He’ll possibly be better going left-handed. I don’t know where we’ll go, he might be more Fairyhouse/Punchestown but they are two right-handed tracks. I probably see him more as a chaser. He could make the top grade as a chaser, rather than a novice hurdler. If we do a bit of work on getting his head carriage right, it could improve him a good bit.
Second hurdles win for The Great Nudie
Bridie's Beau off the mark for Cromwell
He had a nice run in Limerick where he was staying on well at the finish. He was stepping up in trip and he’s improved a bit from Limerick. That was nice,. It’s great for the owner, Owen Daley, who came across from the UK yesterday for Individualiste and this fella. He just has the two with us, so it worked out great that at least one of them won.
Kelly's favourite Finishes best under McGarvey
He battled it out well. He’s not the most straightforward horse to train. . He had wee niggly injuries after the last day he won and we gave him a break. . He’s a nice horse, the ground today probably didn’t really suit him. We took a chance on him. . It was very testing and two furlongs out we were panicking, you can hear these boys (What’s It All About Syndicate) in thestands!
