Abbeydale proves too strong for odds on Road
Karuma Grey a local Gowran winner for Holden
Lantry the Lady with impressive debut success
Ardera Ru another local winner at Gowran
She's a consistent mare and we're having a great winter out of her,. She travels very well and picked up very well but we had a close moment going to the line, I don't know if he seen him coming but she's probably idling in front. I said to him to land her there going to the last but I suppose you have to commit when you are going so well. She won anyway. She did it well again and she's improving the whole time. She has a nice mark over fences, she's rated 95, and we might look at a chase. She obviously wants that ground, we were running her in the summer last year and she wasn't handling it. She's a big strong mare with a good pedigree. She always showed a bit and early on she ran well in a listed bumper but then she lost her way a bit.
Grange Walk wins Gowran feature for Ryan and Quinlan
I thought he was the only horse in the field capable of winning a Grade 2 and the rest were handicappers. He's a bit more than a handicapper,. He's been a bit of an unlucky sort. Liam Quinlan gave him a tip top ride. He's a brave lad over a fence. He'll go to Aintree, the owner wants to go there. He'll go to a two-mile handicap, he's entitled to go there. He's a proper two mile chaser and the blinkers probably helped a bit.
Ain't That A Shame completes double for Blackmore/De Bromhead
Ferns Lock maintains perfect record with Tetratema win
Tullyhill eases to effortless win in finale
He's a real decent horse and a horse that I've been trying to get out all spring,. I was hoping to qualify him for Cheltenham but he just wasn't right and we waited. The Doc's bumper came up and we decided to nominate him for this bumper. I think he's championship class. We'll look for a winners' bumper, whether we wait for Punchestown or go for one before that. He's from the top drawer and is another nice horse for Cheveley Park, I think. He's a horse we were looking forward to and we'll look forward to seeing him again after that performance. He'd actually prefer better ground but he is a big heavy unit too.
