Comfortable for Cougar in Down Royal opener
Smart performance from Machin on debut
I was a bit disappointed with the favourite, he was under pressure a long way out, but there will be other days for him. Yes, absolutely (a nice performance). He worked well at home and we weren't sure coming here with Gordon's horse being so fancied. I would have been very disappointed if he didn't run a good solid race. I didn't get a chance to talk to Keith yet, but I imagine he was raw early on and, when he got the hang of things in the second half of the race, he showed his ability. He's a Coastal Path and a fine stamp of a horse, and will be a lovely horse next year.

He is absolutely (going the right way). He's just so good to jump, he just keeps gaining lengths,. He's only a small, little horse and he just got away with that ground. He wouldn't want it any softer than that. We are getting up to a high enough mark and he might sneak into the bottom of a nice handicap somewhere. We'll have a look at the calendar and see - if there was something around Leopardstown, you might get nice ground.
