Run The Jewels battles bravely at Cork
that's our first runner from the Curragh, we're based there now and Danny McLoughlin is looking after everything for me. I was based in Goresbridge previously and hopefully we will now expand. Danny knows the gallops on the Curragh well.
Fifth win for Punk Poet
Thunder Kiss continues her upward curve
she is a class filly, is a year older and has really matured, The boss has just told me we will aim her high, at Group 2s and 1s, and she has all the proper entries. She excels on a cut in the ground, albeit she has won at Dundalk. Colin was very happy with her, they didn't take her far enough in the race and she took it up two (furlongs) out but she can look around. In a higher class race, they'll go quicker and take her to the line. We are really going to have fun with her, we're not asking to win the big races but if she is placed in them we'll take that now. She is in the Tattersalls Gold Cup and could go there next. She had been training really well and it was a good performance to give weight to everything.
Browne McMonagle rides 100th winner
French Claim enhances classic prospects
he ran a good race meeting loads of trouble in the Eyrefield Stakes last year and that race is working out well. He was more professional today, up in trip and I'd say this trip is his bare minimum. He keeps finding and is still learning on the job. He has plenty of entries and there is a 1m5f Listed race for three year old only at Navan and he'll have no problem getting that trip. We have him entered in Epsom and his owners are keen to go and that is in consideration. A cut in the ground doesn't inconvenience him and I think he'll get 1m6f later in the year so a race like the St Leger in Doncaster might be right up his street.
Tip Of The Spear wins on handicap debut
it is easy say it now but we expected that as we think he is a serious horse. My horses weren't 100% in the autumn but he still won his maiden. He was a big raw horse and has strengthened up over the winter and his work up the Curragh is unbelievable and would put you in good form!
