Barnavara sparks Royal Ascot talk at the Curragh

Whistlejacket shows his speed in the First Flier

Bright Stripes shows his true colours in the Tetrarch

We were very concerned about ground as he’s such a good moving horse,.

Mulligan seen to good effect as claim reduced to 7lb

That’s a pleasant surprise. She was sold to America earlier in the year and that didn’t happen. I think Rory’s 10lb was a big help, she’s not a big filly. I thought 85 was a high mark for her but the 10lb helped. He rode her the other morning and was very happy with her. He’s working very hard so it’s good for him to get down to 7lb now which should get him a few more opportunities. She will probably come back here Guineas weekend for a fillies handicap. She’s so genuine that I think ground doesn’t matter to her. She’s not big but she has a big heart and tries really hard.

Smiles all round as Gregarina wins on first start for Joseph O'Brien

Derby third Birch going from strength to strength at four

I’m very pleased with that, it was a very good performance. He travelled along nicely, they didn’t go much of a gallop, but it was by far his best performance. We couldn’t be happier with that. We’ll see how he comes out of that and talk to the owners to make a plan. He has the option of the Tattersalls Gold Cup and also the Coronation Cup at Epsom. He’s come on a nice bit from the last day and hopefully he can come on again.

Pinar Del Rio gets Conlon off the mark

I’m delighted, over the moon. I’ve had my licence a while and been a bit unlucky with seconds and third — that’s my first winner,.
