Going - Soft (Soft to Heavy In Places). Foggy and Cold
Determined Benny holds on at Down Royal
That was her first time over hurdles but she's brave and honest and jumped super today. We knew we might end up having to make the running but it worked out good.
Selection Box "a great wee horse"
He's a great wee horse and that's his fifth win. We were expecting a good run as he is rated 22Ibs lower over hurdles than he is over fences. He loves the soft ground and Eddie gave him a great ride. We'll look for something similar now but he will go back over fences too.
Montan doesn't find in time as Lucky scores again
The secret to this horse is that he's settling so much better now. He used to get very hyper before his races. He got a smashing ride from Andrew but it looked ominous when the favourite came at him. He found plenty though . he's a brave horse. Whenever the owner (Raymond O'Moore) goes on holidays the horse wins. He is from Monasterboice in County Louth and he's a great supporter of the yard. The horse ran at Dundalk recently but the ground was a bit quick for him.
