Loughran and Hughes take opener at Down Royal

Moore scores with Sole Bonne Femme

I'm delighted with that, everything worked out perfectly. He got a nice soft lead and Robbie [Colgan] let him stride along in front. Chasing is probably his game and we should probably go chasing sooner rather than later, but having won a pot like that, we might look for another hurdle race at Fairyhouse in a month's time.

Nicholls and Walsh record double

Noland had a breathing operation in July and he came back to work a month later so we thought he wasn't as fit as Kauto Star and that he might need the run. That win will have given the horse great confidence. We will go for The Peterborough Chase at Huntington next with him and long term plan would be for the Ryanair Chase at Cheltenham in March.
